Found this useful little tip on my subscriptions list on Youtube.

I've been using check boxes for awhile now.
Windows 7 has one little issue that sometimes when you select an item, it off clicks on it and you think that it is still selected when it is not selected.

Check boxes let you know right away if that item(s) isn't still selected.
Also makes it more handy to multiple select several items to copy, cut or delete.

Thanks.:D

I used to do this on Vista, but not on Windows 7. I prefer the simplicity without the clutter of check-boxes. Good share. :)
