syntax01010 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I was wondering, I remember from certain older versions of Windows, you used to be able to right click any file inside a folder, or just the folder itself and the option "select all" was there. That made it very easy to highlight a large number of files or subfolders quickly. Now, the only place I can find the "select all" command is up in the edit menu. This is with XP Pro SP2. Anyone know of a good way to add the "select all" command to the right-click context menu?To clarify: The select all command does exist if you right click inside of text box, like in an eMail or a forum post, but it doesn't exist if you right click anywhere in a folder or when you right click a folder. I'd like to add this feature. Any assistance with this would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyperHacker Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Huh, I never noticed that... I just use Ctrl+A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senshi Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Im not sure it is possible to rightclick a file/folder and have an option to "Select All"... although, after seeing the skills of some of the people on this forum I have come to beleive that nothing is impossible.Wether there is a way or not, you can always select from the menu bar at the top: Edit -> Select All : or like HyperHacker said, just use Ctrl+A (it can't get any faster than that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiritpyre Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) @ senshi: anythings possible, just depends on how big of a headache your willing to have @hyper hacker: thanks... I was way overthinking this and then i re-read your post and it hit me... send the key combo!@syntax01010:took me awhile and i'd still like to be able to do it from the folder background menu instead of the all files/folders menus, but other than frustrating me there's not that much practical difference. here (see #2) Edited June 7, 2005 by spiritpyre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
