Hi

I haven't been able to do this and just assumed that it wasn't possible until I saw this...

Select multiple files or folders

This doesn't work on my computer, can other people open Explorer and select more then one folder at a time?

I've tried this when I wanted to move multiple folders to an external drive and had to do them one at a time.

Hi Mike,
It works, and always has, for me. I might get the occasional glitch when I select "too many" folders/files. The number of folders/files, when it happens to complain, isn't a consistent number though.
 
Ah Ha...

I get it, the folders have to be in the middle pane.
I was opening expanding the main folder in the left pane and then trying to select multiple folders underneath it.without displaying the folders in the central pane.

Like this...Duh!
