Hi,
How is this done in Windows 10?
I have a friend and I tandemmed into his computer
to use a program for him, and everything says checked and someone told him that
it cannot be changed, but I don't believe that.
But in his file window, that is, windows explorer,
he has a ribbon, and I couldn't find tools and options on his file
window.
I use 7, so I don't know the differences in 10
very well.
That is one thing about Linux, it is more like
windows 7 than Windows 10 is.
But any help getting rid of the checked thing
would be much appreciated.
Glenn

names If by File Explorer you mean Windows Explorer, here's what to
do.
Open Windows Explorer.
press Alt-T for Tools, O for options.
In the property page that opens, shift tab to the tab controls
and right arrow to the view tab.
Tab to the tree view and find the item called "Use check boxes
to select items." I pressed the letter U and jumped right to
it.
Press spacebar to unselect the tree view
item.
Tab to OK and press spacebar.
If File Explorer is different than Windows Explorer, maybe
File Explorer copied the menu choices, property page and so on from Windows
Explorer. Couldn't hurt to try. From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of Jim Weiss via groups.io Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2020 3:35 AM To: jfw@groups.io Subject: How to remove the check boxes that proceed my file names Thank you in advance,

P.S. I apologize if this is a very basic question, but I am a Mac
user just getting back into the Windows pool and to say the least I am still in
the kiddie pool.
