Big fan of boxstarter. Use it a lot. One enhancement I would like to see added is the ability to configure windows explorer to enable or disable check boxes next to items in Windows Explorer. These check boxes in Windows Explorer allow for users to select/deselect objects in windows explorer by checking/unchecking the check box next to the file/folder. Think of it as an alternative to holding down the "ctrl" button and selecting multiple items:

go

As of now, boxstarter does not have this functionality.

@demdante Thanks for the issue. Without any context around this I don't know what this enhancement is. The text 'enabling and disabling of check boxes next to items' doesn't give me enough information. Can you please provide additional information above and some screenshots to help us understand?

(chocolateyGH-443) Adds Windows Explorer item check box view
9124674 
Even though Boxstarter has existing functionality to modify Windows
Explorer's settings, the existing functionality did not allow for user's
to configure the "Use check boxes to select items" setting.  This commit
adds that functionality to the existing set-windowsexploreroptions
function.
