Well they should do, because Ctl Click and Shift Click can ONLY be
done with a mouse...

Not quite true in Win 7 (maybe Vista as well). There is a way to show
selection check boxes on every line of the file display, and they can be
clicked individually.

I don't do it & I don't remember how to set it up, but I do recall that
it is available. IIRC, this only works like Ctrl-Click, not Shift-Click.

OK, I just spent 10 seconds to find it. It's in the Folder options, View
pane, near the bottom, "Use check boxes...".


If you don't want to use the mouse, "CTRL+Space" to select and
"CTRL+Arrow" to navigate followed by DEL works just fine also.

I prefer the mouse - which probably explains why I didn't know about
those keystrokes :-)

There's about a 5% chance that I'll remember them, now that you've told
me (and anyone else who read your post)...


I've had to use some laptops with a virtually worthless touch pad ;-)
