how to select multiple files with wm 6.1?
How can I select more than 1 file so that I can copy and paste? my tp2 does not allow that. and gets really annoying when you want to select a few files.
never remember this issue with the TP
Answers
- From the Menu in File Explorer, tap Select All to highlight all the files. For non-contiguous selection, tap ctrl on the keyboard and select the files you want to copy.

- Yes, but if you want to select more than 1 file, it is the one you'll need to use since the other, nicer HTC keyboard doesn't include the Ctrl key.
You can make the keys a little larger by tapping start > settings > input > select the "large keys" radio button on the "Input Method" screen.
(I prefer to use the slideout keyboard on my windows phone for most things, but I often revert to this onscreen keyboard when the slideout keyboard won't do what I need it to do.)

- the tp2 doesnt have a ctrl button
- The slideout keyboard does not have a ctrl button, but the onscreen keyboard does.

Prof Julie, Microsoft MVP Mobile Devices | http://pocketprimer.com - that is the smallest keyboard and really unfunctional
