In Windows Explorer is there a way to select all files in a folder?

If I open a folder and want to either move all files to another folder using click and move or to copy to a DVD, is there a shortcut command that would allow me to select all items instead of having to select them one at a time?

I personally like this little option myself.

Select all - Add to Context Menu in Windows 7

CTRL+A - That works for me most of the time :)

Hope This Helps,

I also use CTL+A - or highlight the first file, then hold down the Shift key and highlight the last file. That is handy if you only want e.g. the first 20 or so.

Wow, those results are terrific. Thank you all very much.
