How to select multiple files

To select multiple files in Windows, to copy, delete, or move, you must press the CTRL key and then click the files you want to select. But this is not very convenient if you have to select a lot of files. With Windows 7, you can make this operation a lot easier by adding a checkbox next to all the files. Just check the boxes in front of the files you are interested in to select them.
