Multiple files How to Select using the Ctrl Key

If you want to select a number of files or even words there is a way to do it in one operation

Letʹs take 10 files from a 100 to another area, for example

You canʹt use select all, because you donʹt want to move all 100 files.

No ! you use the Control ( Ctrl ) key

It is a very simple process. Hereʹs what you do:‐

Click on the first file you want to move

Go to the second file you want to select. However before clicking this file, hold down the Ctrl key and then click.

You will now notice that both files are now selected

Repeat this process for as many files as you want to select at once

It is as simple as that.

If you accidentally select a file that you donʹt want included, just go back to it and hit it again while holding the Ctrl button down.

In this way you deselect that one file.

This facility comes in handy when youʹre trying to organize you computer.

Or when you want to change the Font or Style of odd words in a document.

It also works in programs like Photoshop, say you want to open a bunch of pictures at once, just do the above and hit okay.

Photoshop will open all the photos you selected.

It also works on Web pages with forms that allow you to pick multiple options.
