    How can I open multiple files at once?


    For example, when two Word files are selected and type Enter key, two Words run. However, when a Word file and an Excel file are selected and type Enter key, nothing runs. In this case, I want both Word and Excel to run.
    Likewise, two shortcuts for different applications are not run at once while shortcuts for the same application can be run.

    :)

    Open With on multiple files?

    you can do this using a workaround by using "Send to" on the right click context menu in Windows File Explorer. Here's how

    Step 1 - Add Chrome shortcut to SendTo folder so that chrome may appear in the send to menu.

    SendTo folder:%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

    This can be done in one of several ways. I will mention one of the easiest below.

    • Right-drag the Google Chrome shortcut that was created on the Desktop when Chrome installed, or the Chrome shortcut in the Start menu, to the SendTo folder and select Copy.

    Note: Right-click this shortcut, select Properties, and confirm that the Target field contains no command line options, just the path + file name for Chrome.

    Step 2: Select the 16 JPGs, right click, go to "Send to" & select "Google Chrome".

    That's it. All JPGs will open in Chrome, each in its own tab.

    I use this with Firefox, but it should work with Chrome too.

    Troubleshoot #1

    If Google Chrome doesn't appear in the "Send to" menu, try restarting Windows File Explorer from Task Manager.

    Troubleshoot #2

    If the JPGs open in multiple windows, you might want to consider installing an extension in Chrome to prevent this behaviour. I suggest One Window.
