    Opening multiple files with the same extention


    I feel stupid even asking, but I used to be able to open many files with the same extension (in this case .xlsx) by selecting them all in File Explorer and hitting enter. Now it doesn't work.


    In Windows 10 how do you open multiple files, with the same extension, at the same time?

    :)

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

    Troubleshoot #1<br>
    If Google Chrome doesn't appear in the "Send to" menu, try restarting Windows File Explorer from Task Manager.

    Troubleshoot #2<br>
    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.

    PowerPoint file crashes PowerPoint upon opening

    since this happens in some of the computers only, suggest that you open the file on working computer and copy everything and paste to a new powerpoint file.
    most of the time it works to me. *Smile Opening multiple files with the same extention :)
