Select Files Using Check Boxes In Windows Vista

To enable this feature, go to the Organize menu and choose “Folder and Search Options” from the menu. From there, click the View tab, and you should see this near the bottom:

Just check the “Use check boxes to select items” checkbox, and you will now be able to use the checkboxes. (It works best in detail mode)

Note that you can click the checkbox next to Name to select all files. Or Ctrl+A.
