Here is something for you to try, i have tried it on 2k
and xp, and the result is the same(a bug)
select multiple files of the same type(pictures are
probably the best) now right click over one of them and
select open with, and select a program which can open
them. note how many of the selected files open. if you are
running 2k or xp, only the file which you were over when
you right clicked will open, not sure about over OS'

The behavior you see is dependent on the file type and the associated
application. It is not a Windows bug. If the application supports it
then multiple files will be opened. For example on XP I us ACDSee to
view JPG files. If I select multiple JPG files and choose open then
ACDSee will do a slide show of those files. Other applications may try
to open all the files at once.
