How do I highlight multiple files in Windows? →[More:]
Another clueless computer question.

I'm importing some music into iTunes, and I want to highlight more than one file. Isn't there a function I can preform to highlight more than one file? Thanks so much.

If you have a file already selected, Ctrl+clicking on another file will select that file as well.

If you have a file already selected, Shift+clicking on another file will select all the files between the first file and the one you've just clicked on.

Once you have a selection going, you can use combinations of Ctrl and Shift clicking to deselect files, add new batches of files to the selection, and so on.
