Cannot turn off select multiple items in Windows
in [Windows XP Basics]

From: Anthony Fontana on 16 Dec 2009 13:24 We have Windows XP workstations running on a Windows Server 2003 domain. Sometimes, when a user clicks on a file in a folder, then clicks on another file in that same folder, all items in between the two get selected. The Shift key is not being pressed though. How do I turn this off? Up till now, all I can figure out is to logoff and login again.

Change the mouse and keyboard on the computer. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
From: Anthony Fontana on 16 Dec 2009 14:59 I finally managed to duplicate it by using shift to select contigous files, then turning on sticky keys. I am guessing that the users are accidently turning on sticky keys, perhaps by pressing shift 5x rapidly. Turning off sticky keys helped. Thanks.
