When you have selected a group of files, you can unselect some of them by holding down the Ctrl key: click on each file you want deselected, one after the other. (Or, again, simply using the Ctrl+A keyboard shortcut to select all files.) Unselect (deselect) one or more files from a selection Tip: You can combine selection modes - select a continuous number of files with the Shift key as explained earlier, release the key, and then select non-continuous files by holding down the Ctrl key. To deselect the file, just click on an empty area of the folder, or click on a single file to select it instead of the group selection.Windows 7 has selected all the files you wanted, and you can now perform on them the action desired (cut, copy, move, delete, etc.).Once you have selected all the files you needed, release the Ctrl key.One after the other, select each file you want selected by clicking on it.Hold down the control key on your keyboard (" Ctrl"), and keep it pressed.If needed, open the folder in Windows Explorer.Windows 7 also lets you select in one go multiple files that are not listed in continuous order: This works for text in editors like Microsoft Word, but also for files inside a folder in Windows Explorer! Select multiple files in random order (not continuous)

Tip: if you want to select all files inside a folder, the fastest way to use the keyboard shortcut of " Ctrl+A" (" A" as in All).
