Click and drag your cursor near one or more icons to highlight it, then click on any icon and the number of icons you highlighted will move.

Thanks Alex, that works, but its not quite as conveniant as being able to just click on the files or folders to select them as it used to be.

Thanks Alex,

I rolled back the touchpad driver, I assume it reset things to the default, which would be the same as what you suggested.

Thanks Alan
