Inverse+Selections

Have you ever needed to select *most* of the files in a folder using Windows Explorer? Maybe you are copying them to a floppy, moving them to new home. In any case, it can be a hassle since most of us just select up to the first file we do not want, do whatever it was we were going to do with the files, then move on to the next section. There is a better way! First, select the files you **//DO NOT//** want. If there are multiple files that you do not want, hold down your **Ctrl** key as you select the files. Next, go to the **Edit** menu and select ” **Invert Selection** ” from the menu. The files you selected previously are now deselected and everything else is selected.

Go into the folder with the files you want, hit **Ctrl+A** (that will select the whole mess). Next, hold down your **Ctrl** key and click the files you do not want. That will deselect them. If you are using Windows 7 you may not see a menu bar at the top of your explorer window. Press your ALT key to make it pop up.
