So I miss a lot of files and using Ctrl to select files and ones I didn't from a group of a ton is pretty easy. But sometimes I click off it the file someplace it starts to copy and it is just a pain. Is there a way to just totally disable this feature someplace in the REG? Yes, I can do the check box option in the folder area but it takes up more space when trying to view images. Any ideas or thoughts on this?

Because of speed in doing things in File Explorer I've taken to adding the Copy to and Move to instead of Drag and Drop or Ctrl+C to copy, Ctrl+V to paste, Helps to assure the file goes to the correct location, don't know if it will help your situation. Dragging from the right to folders on the left can change the line-up too fast at times.

It is not batch copying but selecting files from a batch of say 200 and just choosing like 75 of them and looking through them. Just trying to disable this feature on Windows.
