The little things we take for granted
After giving a few classes this week on new software we are using in the office, I was amazed at how many hard core computer users did not know that you could open multiple files at one time and so I realized that perhaps some did not know that you can do this when looking at your photos in an image software program instead of looking at just one at a time.
All it entails is clicking on the first photo and then holding down the shift key, click on the end photo you want to open. I seldom open more than 5 at a time but it is a good way of going thru your shots pretty quickly. So are there any other little tricks that you assumed everyone knew? |

Keyboard Shortcuts

Thanks,KC.But in Windows,my Pictures,all ones images are displayed as thumbnails.One would surely not be able to open more than 1 at once to view on the screen as a large size image.

Hi Christine.
Okay try this. Open up your imaging program, click on file and then find where your pics are. Even as thumbnails you should be able to click on the first one and then hold the shift key down and go to say the fourth picture. All 4 should be highlighted. Then click on open and see what happens. You using XP? I do and I can do it and I was able to do it with '98. Let me know. |

To open several files in a folder that are not next to each other, hover the mouse over the files until they highlight in blue whilst holding down the Ctrl key - there's a short delay before they highlight so you can move your mouse without accidentally selecting any files that you don't want. When you've selected all of your chosen files just right click and select 'open'

Here's a few for you:
Hold down the windows key and press D to hide all windows and show your desktop. Press it again to restore the windows. Windows Key + F brings up the Search Window Windows Key + E brings up Windows Explorer Use Alt - Tab to change between programmes. Hold down shift to go 'back' in the list. Ollie |

Windows key + M minimises all the windows to show the desktop, I use this one all the time.
