  • I disagree: Selecting multiple .txt files, right-click and Open does open all files.

  • Yea I tried selecting multiple files by clicking Shift and selecting 10 files at a time, then clicked on the right mouse button it worked, it gave the option to open the files, but when I tried to open all 20 of them, it does not work.

There is an arbitrary limit of 15 selected files in the context-menu, as
explained in this Microsoft article:
Context menus are shortened when more than 15 files are selected.



The solution is to use regedit and navigate to the key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer.



On the right-hand pane, change the value of the item
MultipleInvokePromptMinimum to a limit that suits you better.
If the item does not exist, create it as DWORD 32-bit.



The change takes place right away without a logoff or restart.
However, I would be careful with setting this to a too big value.
