For some reason on one Computer I can't select multiple
directories. IE Hold Control and click on directories to
select. It's as if the Control key is ignored. Only on one
system that has probably one of the first OEM XP releases
installed. Any ideas how to fix that??

Thanks

Click to expand...

First try a different keyboard.

If you are in the Tree View, you can only select multiple files or folders
in the right hand pane.

You cannot select multiple folders in the left hand pane.

Have you tried both Ctrl keys?

Does using the Shift key work?

To select consecutive files or folders, click the first item, press and hold
down SHIFT and then click the last item.

I sometimes forget that you cannot select more than one in the left hand
pane myself.

Keep having fun. ;-)
