Enable checkboxes for selecting files in Windows Vista/7 Explorer

You’re probably used to hit either CTRL or SHIFT to select multiple files (one by one or a consecutive bunch, respectively). However, if you accidentally misclick, your selection is lost and you have to start over.

This is would not happen if you’d be able to select files in a checkbox manner, would it?

To implement the checkboxes, simply do this..
1.) Go to folder options
2.) Go to the View tab, scroll down under the Advanced Settings area and tick the option: Use checkboxes to select items
3.) When hovering over a file or folder in Explorer, a checkbox will now appear near it, allowing you to select that item.

MICROSOFT TRICKS

MAGIC #1

An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as “CON”. This is something pretty cool…and unbelievable… At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn’t answer why this happened!

TRY IT NOW ,IT WILL NOT CREATE ” CON ” FOLDER

[ The name “CON” in windows is reserved for console devices (Keyboard if used as input and Monitor if used as output) hence it can not be used to create any file or directory of this name.]

MAGIC #2

For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1.) Open an empty notepad file

2.) Type “Bush hid the facts” (without the quotes)

3.) Save it as whatever you want.

4.) Close it, and re-open it.

or in firefox..

tools->options->content..

turn off java and javascript, then reload the site..
