| | Re: Can't select multiple files in Explorer I have tried all of the "How to" instructions in the help files (click and hold shift/ctrl etc. Also tried various options in the folder options in the Control Panel. No matter what I do, it seems that I cannot select more the one file at a time to move them, copy them, etc. This applies to ALL files (.txt,.PDF, ETC).
