Why on earth would someone want to select every other file or picture?
What's the scenario?

I think he wants to invert a selection. There is a menu entry inside
the Edit menu of the Windows Explorer doing just this. Some 2-pane
file managers support this function with the grey * key from Numpad.

Another possibility is the use of Explorer shell extensions for the
selection. One claiming to do this can be found here:

What an absolute loser this guy is. Why can't the guy just ask a question and get an answer. Stupid human being. Even that reply was stupid for 2005.

To be helpful, you can either use cGPT, Claude, etc... to write a python script to do it. Still windows does not support this.

For me, I found it easy to just go to the bottom of the folder, hold click and drag upwards, then correct for any remaining ones. Best to copy them into a new folder per batch for ease. If you need them all selected, then make sure you hold down CTRL + SHIFT as you drag the cursor.
