| Windows 2000 Basics : Working with Files Selecting multiple files |
Page 1Here Windows Explorer has been opened showing the files which were used in the last tutorial. Page 2The same operations that you saw in the last tutorial can be performed on multiple files at one time. To select one file , click on the file. To select more than one file , hold down the Ctrl key and click on the files one at a time. Page 4To select a range of files at once without having to click on each one individually, click the first file in the range, and then hold down the Shift key and click on the second file in the range. Here four files have been selected with two mouse clicks. Page 5You can also select all of the files in folder by choosing Edit > Select All . Ctrl+A (hold down the Ctrl key and simultaneously press the "A" key) will accomplish the same effect. Page 6Selecting a range of files can also be accomplished by holding down the Shift key and hitting the up or down arrows on your keyboard. Page 7Once you have selected multiple files, you can do the same operations that were shown in the last tutorial (Copy, Move, Delete and Restore). In this screenshot four files have been selected. The files have been dragged to the My Notes folder using the right mouse button. The Copy/Move popup menu is showing as it did for a single file. Page 8In this screenshot, the Copy option has been chosen from the popup menu, and the four files have been copied to the My Notes folder. |
