While you can select multiple files in Windows Explorer by holding down the CTRL key for each mouse click, that is a two-handed procedure. But there is one tweak we have yet to mention - the ability to select multiple files with check boxes. Now that everything is all set up, you can use the Send To option to open multiple files with the same app.In previous TechRepublic Microsoft Windows Blog posts we have presented several Windows Explorer tweaks that make the tool more efficient and, in some cases, just plain less frustrating. Move the shortcut that you created in the previous step to the SendTo folder.Paste the following in the location bar and tap Enter.Now that the shortcut has been created and modified to open files, you need the app to appear in the Send to menu’s sub-menu. In the target field, enter this switch at the end of the path /a.Right-click the shortcut and select Properties from the context menu.Look for the app and drag & drop its tile on to the desktop to create a shortcut.The first step is to create and modify a shortcut to the app you want to open multiple files in. We’re going to use a shortcut and a command line switch, as well as the Send To option in the context menu to accomplish this. Open With doesn’t work with multiple files so, in order to use it to open multiple files with the same app, you’re going to have to use a workaround. While you can select multiple files and tap the Enter key to open them all in the default app, the same doesn’t work with the Open With option. The one shortcoming the Open With option has is that it disappears if you select multiple files. It’s easier than opening the app and then opening the file in it. If you’d like to open a file with an app that isn’t set as its default app, you can use the Open With option to do. This option allows users to select any app to open a file with.
The file context menu in Windows 10 has a helpful option called ‘Open With’.
