How do I enable check boxes to select files in Vista?


One of my favourite Vista options is the ability to enable checkboxes in order to select files and folders in Explorer. Here's how you do it:

1. Click the Organize button at the top left of your explorer screen and scroll down to select Folder and Search Options (see image below).


2. Click on the View tab and scroll down until you come to the option Use Check Boxes to Select Items. Place a tick next to the option and Apply>Ok.

That's all there is to it! If you would like to see a visual demonstration of this process and the end result, have a look at the video below (my apologies as the audio quality is not as great I would have liked it).
