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...".

You will find Delete under Organize, File, and the Context menu (right
click on selection), as well as using the Delete key. If you must have
it directly located on the "tool bar" you will need a replacement for
Windows Explorer.


And where would someone get the replacement?

Been using it for years and it's so much better than Windows Explorer!

When I am in windows explorer and want to delete a file from a certain
folder, I have no "delete" button across the top tool bar. I have
organize, share with, burn and new folder but no "delete." I know I can
right click to delete the file but I am use to the delete selection
on the
top tool bar. How can I add this? Thanks.


Is there some reason not to just tap the Delete key on your keyboard?


Click the unwanted file. Move hand from mouse to Del key. Move hand back
to mouse, chose another file. Move hand from mouse to Del key....
repeat, repeat, repeat.....


CTRL+click,click,click,click,delete.

The term "google" comes to mind. ;-)

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)...
