    File Explorer


    I am currently assisting a blind person with their computer and we have to rely on Short Cuts. We are having a problem with selecting multiple individual files when in File Explorer. The listed method is to Press and Hold the Ctrl key to select the first item. You then down arrow to the next item and press Space Bar. Now comes the problem, when you press the down arrow to go the next item it open a search file.


    The above works without problem in Outlook.

    Selecting a block of file using the Shift key works OK.


    I have tried this on both my desk top and lap top.



    TIA

    :)
