How to select more than 1 file in file exprorer?
I have never had problems on my previous windows mobile phone, but with HD2 I am too stupid to figure it out how to make selection of multuple files...
No it's not just you. You can select multiple files as long as there is no scrolling in the window. As for selecting if you need to scroll i dont know. You can use total commander as this has a Ctrl key option so you can pick multiple files
You can select multiple files with the windows explorer using the SWYPE keyboard.
Click the SYM button three times
Use the UP and DOWN arrows to navigate to the files you want
Press the Select Text button
Use the UP and DOWN arrows to select multiple files
Only problem is that the files have to be next to each other.
its easy with resco explorer :/ maybe go try that one?^^ amazing explorer anyway

At present, you can't select multiple items in file explorer. I don't know if there is a modification floating about that will let you select multiple items.
Actually you can select multiple files. Using the standard microsoft keyboard, press the CTRL key, then you can highlight as many files as you like.
how do i get the standard microsoft keyboard?
There should be one attached to your PC.

You don't actually copy the .exe program to Windows/start, you create a shortcut to the .exe file and put the shortcut in Windows/start
Or download Resco Radio instead
I don't seem to be able to create a shortcut,am I missing something.
Don
Use one of the following file explorers and you should be able to create a shortcut.
File explorers aren't all the same and have different methods of creating shortcuts, though its usually one of these:
1. Press & hold .exe file using either stylus or finger until pop-up menu appears then select 'Send shortcut to Programs'.
2. Press & hold .exe file using either stylus or finger until pop-up menu appears then create shortcut and move this to /Windows/Start Menu/Programs.
3. Select or highlight .exe file, then click 'file', then '>>>>' then create shortcut
As usual excellent advice,thank you so much.

I don't have idea how to select file in windows file explorer...I have folder with 200 files and I would like to select half of them. In option I only have select all... In HTC Diamond I tap on file, slide down and file was selected. How to do with HD2? Tap and slide down doesn't work, only scroling list.
Sorry for my English
I have only been able to select one file at a time by pressing the file for over 1 second and then a menu pop's up i.e. copy/paste etc....
Hi,
How can I change the "Click" setting...? I want to double click a file to be executed and not from the first click. I'm unable to select for example a MP3 file to copy/paste it etc... because it will start playing or if a cab file, it will run.
Any idea how to chnage this...?

you can tap and hold for 2sec and all the options will pop up.
You can also try a different file explorer like Resco which lets you select files very easily.

Thank you Svegetto...! It works for me.
I am looking for a keyboard for the nook STR that has both the letters and numbers on it, either like a normal keyboard or a number pad on the side. we are doing data entry and switching back and forth between letters and the numbers/special characters all the time is annoying.
I've not had much luck searching the android market for one like that, having only found the Hackers Keyboard, and being unable to install it.
I've started using the Go Keyboard. If you long press the appropiate letter you can use the number instead.

we're looking for something where the numbers are just there. There is lots of data being put into spreadsheets, and having any extra clicks or having to hold down a key when entering lots of numbers really slows down workflow. But thank you for the suggestion
How did you get the Go Keyboard installed and activated? Seems you have to install the apk in the system folder, and I tried but wouldn't let me (big noobe I know) :-(
astro file manager isn't enough. You need a file manager that will allow you access to root directories. I used ES File Explorer from the android market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop. Once you install it go to the settings menu and:
1. Scroll down to Root Settings and enable Root Explorer and Mount File System.
Not sure if this next step was needed but I did it anyway
2. Once again from the setting menu click on File Settings and enable "Show Hidden Files"
then copy the file from your data\app folder to your system\app folder
