Windows 7 Cannot select multiple files in .vcf files and others!

[Fred Smallwood]

In the organize tab I cannot select all or change folder settings. Using the ctrl key does not work either? I am using win 7 home premium?

It seems like you're facing an issue in Windows 7 Home Premium where you are unable to select all or change folder settings in the Organize tab. This can be frustrating, but there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve this issue: 1. Check Folder Options: - Open any folder. - Go to the "Organize" menu and select "Folder and search options". - In the "View" tab, make sure that the option "Use check boxes to select items" is checked. - Apply the changes and check if you can now select folders using checkboxes. 2. Keyboard Shortcuts: - Instead of using the Ctrl key to select multiple items, try using the Shift key. - Click on the first item, hold down the Shift key, and click on the last item you want to select to choose a range of items. 3. System File Checker: - Run the System File Checker tool to scan and restore corrupt system files that may be causing this issue. - Open the Command Prompt with administrative privileges (right-click Command Prompt and select "Run as administrator"). - Type sfc /scannow and press Enter. 4. Check for Updates: - Make sure your Windows 7 is up to date with the latest updates from Microsoft. Sometimes, updates can fix issues like this. 5. Create a New User Account: - Create a new user account and see if the issue persists there. This can help determine if the problem is specific to your user profile. If these steps do not resolve the issue, please let me know, and we can explore additional troubleshooting options.
