Windows Vista - Explorer

Select All Files / Subfolders

SUMMARY: Quickly select all files and subfolders of a folder when performing operations in Windows Vista Explorer.


 

You may occasionally need to select all files and subfolders of a folder in Windows Vista without selecting the folder itself. Perhaps you want to compress a folder's contents, move files to a new location on the network, or attach multiple files to an e-mail message at once - all without including the parent folder's name. If so, there are multiple ways to select all files and subfolders from Explorer:

A. Click the "Organize" button and choose "Select All".

B. Press Alt to show the menu bar, then select "Edit" - "Select All".

C. Press Ctrl + A.
