Select multiple items
Hold the Ctrl key to select or deselect multiple files or folders, one by
one. Note that you can??™t select more than one folder in the folder tree
pane of Explorer, but you can in the right pane.
You can select multiple files without using the keyboard by
dragging a rubber band around them. Start by holding down
the left mouse button in a blank portion of a folder window,
then drag the mouse to the opposite corner to select everything
that appears in the rectangle you just drew.
You can also use the Ctrl key to modify your selection. For example, if
you??™ve used the Shift key or a rubber band to select the first five objects
in a folder, you can hold Ctrl while dragging a second rubber band to
highlight additional files without losing your original selection.
