These tips are mostly for Win XP. Some of these will work in the older Windows but not all. I'm sure that there are more than these so I will add them as I find/Discover them. I know that some/most of these are very basic to some people but they can help out some other people.

You can select multiple items at random by holding down the Ctrl key to cut, copy, and/or delete.
If the items you want to select are all together you can click on the first item, hold down the shift key, then click on the last item and it will select everything between the two items already selected.
