Those would open the file, not select it.


In that case, CTRL+A will select the text.

Eh? I don't want to select the text. I want to do what I described:
select the file in its folder; the sort of operation I assume you, like
me, do scores or hundreds of times a day!


If I understand correctly, for me the number would be zero. ;-)

I do deal with files, but never via the Run dialog. I use Windows
Explorer or its Win10 equivalent.


If I understand correctly...


I don't think you did. I wasn't suggesting that anyone but me wanted to
select a file by the method I'm seeking. Simply explaining to Mr.
Man-wai Chang that 'selecting a file in a folder' was a frequent
everyday occurrence.


No, I specifically meant selecting a file via the Start Run dialog.
That doesn't sound like a good idea to me, and it's not something I can
remember doing.
