How to enable check-boxes to select multiple files in windows 8
While selecting multiple files in windows, we generally press ctrl key and then click the files to make multiple selections. But sometimes we have a large number of files and we need to select the multiple random files to copy or delete them and accidentally if we click on any file without holding the ctrl key, all the selected files get deselected. This situation is very irritating. So, to get rid of this problem, you can enable check-boxes and select your files without pressing ctrl key. Lets see how to enable check-boxes for selecting files and folders in windows 8.

Method 1:

1. Press Win+F keys to open windows search.
2. Now type Folder Options and click SETTINGS category.
