I mainly select a group of files or pictures in a row so I hold down Shift, Highlite the first file then Click on last file - this selects the entire group, if I ever want to deselect a few of the files in between I then hold down Ctrl and click them so they aren't highlited any more.

That is neat. If you click on the checkbox for one item and then go down to select a range, holding the shift key when clicking the check box next to the last item you want, it still selects all the in-between items just as before. It's great that we did not loose that functionality.

The check box basically works like holding the CTRL key down, but it's easier.

I have been using Vista for 20 months, and am still learning new little nuances about it. Those that said it's just a fancy face on XP, really, really, didn't know what they were talking about. I am so used to some of the nice features with Vista, that when I go to XP and try to find them, it's nope, wrong OS.
