4. In the Folders list, select the folder where the file resides.

6. In the File name list, hold down the CTRL key and click all the files you want to add.

   Note   To select all displayed files, press the HOME key to move to the beginning of the list, then SHIFT+END to move to the end. This dialog box will only accommodate 256 characters.
