    Jay,

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but if some file gets checked and stays checked, and then you go to delete some other checked file, do you delete all checked files? If so, this seems like a dangerous option.

    The old way of holing down the control key and selecting various files is easily cleard by clicking on a file without the control key down. But if I have checked several files, moved to a different folder, selected more files (say to delete), I then have to go a be sure all other files are unchecked, wherever they may be. Seems dangerous.

    Windows 7: it's like a boy scout trying to help the little old lady across the street--but he never asked the lady if she wanted to cross the street.

    I'm close to being up to speed on my new linux system with photoshop running in windows 7 under virtualbox. Just a few more things to install and then calibrate the monitors.

    Hi Roger, I just did a test and checked a bunch of files in one folder and then opened a different folder, returned to the original folder and the checks were automatically removed.

    Also, if you check several files and then using the old way click anywhere on the screen other than another file the checks are automatically removed.
    Cheers, Jay

    This was/is available in Vista as well. It's one of the first things I turn off, having always found it rather annoying
