Windows Vista tips & tricks #6: Add checkboxes in Explorer
Gill Cleeren     Vista | Vista Tricks     January 1, 2007    

Did you know that is possible in Windows Vista to add checkboxes to each item in your Windows Explorer? No? I thought so!

Well, actually, it's there, but it's disabled by default. Let me show you how you can enable it again.

In the explorer, go to "Organize", then select "Folder and Search Options" as shown in the screenshot below.

 

In the "View" tab of the "Folder Options" dialog box that now opens, scroll all the way down. You'll see the option: "Use checkboxes to select items".
Simply enable this, and you'll have no more need to CTRL-click anymore! 



It's hard to believe that this is not enabled by default!
