How to prevent automatic unwanted copies when I select several files?

When I select 8 or more files to move, delete, modify, etc. as a group, XP automatically copies.  I pointed out the copies to remove them and get copies of copies. For example, the files in my music, newspapers, etc.  Is this a malfunction, or y at - it a setting I can change to stop this?

=============================
Maybe the following will help:

Sometimes most of the person who
trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the
image files.

Copies are created when you are unable to
completely release the mouse button before
you move the pointer to another file. When a group
the selected file is dragged... even the slightest
release the mouse button will produce a bit...
copies of all the files previously highlighted.

It's a little easier if you have your folder
Options set at single click... that way you can
select/deselect a file with just a mouse more
and you don't have to click. For multiples you
I have to keep... CTRL or Shift.

Do not click on... no slip... no copy... maybe that of
your solution. To adjust the click...
Open a folder and go... Tools / folder
Options / General tab... Check... 'single click '.
To open an item"/ apply / OK.

If you want to delete all the files in a folder
You can try the following:

Reach... Edition / select all... or type... CTRL / has...

With all of the files selected... go... Drop / delete...
or press your delete key... or... click on the
Group and choose 'delete '.

How do I find and remove unwanted 'copies '.
of your image files.

Open the folder that the images are saved in and
on the left, click on the button 'Search' in your toolbar.

(If you view the files from a montage
program and do not know where the record is... right
Click on one of the image files and the menu...
choose... Properties. The path to the folder will be
in the tab 'General' to 'Place').

In the research pane select... "All files and folders".

In the "All or part of the file name" field. Come in...

a copy of

Now... on the left, click on the search"" button.

When the search is complete... go to... Edition / select all...

Then go to... Remove / delete.

You will see a dialog box asking if you are sure
you want to delete the files, click Yes.

Now... on the left, click on the 'Back' button in your toolbar.

Now the remaining files should be your originals.

If you delete the wrong files... recover from
your basket now.

    Hello

    This a problem running.

    What happens is that when you select multiple files, you select one of the files and the mouse is moved, even slightly, when you release the mouse button, all the selected files will be copied to the same folder. You must be very careful not to move the mouse when you select files.

  • How to keep the individual text fields after combining several files

    I created a timeline for 2015. Each month was created separately with a text field for each day of the month for the objectives, intentions, tasks. However, when I merge the files of the month in a pdf, the fields of text in different months work as a single; If I write something on January 14, the same text appears on the 14th of all other months. Therefore, I'm looking for a way to keep each autonomous text field so that this calendar can be a tool for planning throughout the year as planned.

    ·        What is the service pack installed on your computer?

    Windows Update will remind you if you have to restart your PC to continue the installation of an update and you give the option to "reboot now" or will give you the option to postpone the restart. If you are away from your PC for a long period of time, you can see that it automatically restarts your PC. Windows does to make sure all the latest security and other updates are applied in a timely, to help keep your PC safer with little effort for you.

    If you are a system administrator and you want to control restart behavior, you can use Group Policy to avoid any automatic restart every time the administrator is connected.
