Windows Vista Select multiple folders in Windows Explorer and shortcut underline

[LiveAndLearn]

Hello all,

Actual 2 questions.

1. Select multiple files in a given folder in Windows Explorer is straight
forward enough (click 1st file, press shift and click on last file). Can we
select multiple folders the same way? The select multiple file method just
doesn't work...

2. I just switched from XP a few months ago. I remember that the keyboard
shortcut for context sensitive menu is underlined. e.g. when right-click on
an image in a browser, i can type an 'r' to get the Property window. The
letter 'r' in the 'Property' menu item is undderlined. Can't see it in any
menu in Vista...anywhere where i can switch it on.

Thanx in advance.

L&L

ALL Dropdown menus are underlined, but not pop-up/right-click menu on
Internet Explorer ONLY...other app (like Excel is fine).

My Vista is 3 months old installed on a new brand PC, and I noticed from day
one that it wasn't underlined (on IE).

Actually, no underlines in the pop-up menu in Windows Explorer either. I
think it's safe to say that no underlines on ALL right-click menu item.
