Question

why is selecting of files and folders is required

Answer 1

Answer:

To select files and folders so you can do stuff to them - stuff like copy, move, open, or print - select the file or folder icons (the small pictures identifying the folder or file). Most of the time, you click the file and folder icons in the windows to select them. Windows 7 lets you know when an icon is selected by highlighting it in a different color (normally, a light blue unless you change the Windows appearance settings).
