Are you using Windows Vista as your operating system? No, then you might be facing many problems while deleting multiple files. In earlier version of Windows, if you want to delete the multiple files, you have to hold the control key for selecting all the desiring files. Once, you missed the control key for a second, you need to select all the files again.
But Windows Vista gives you a new feature that may not be present in the earlier version of Windows. That is, now you don’t have to hold the control key while deleting multiple files. Well, Windows Vista provides you a new feature that is, you can turn on your checkboxes that you might be finding in the explorer interface, so you will not face any problem you just simply select the files by checking the box.

Ola! Arvind,
Very interesting, I recently switched computers and am trying to move all my music files from a USB device to my new iTunes library. It allowa me to open the files with iTunes one by one, but there are 1,400+ files I need to open. I already have them all in my desktop, but the option “open with iTunes” isn’t there, only “open with windows media player.”
Wishes
