    How come I have it and others don't ??? ... Are you saying the menu bar with EDIT is missing ??
    At the top left corner of your explorer window is a button labeled "Organize" > Click it and then on the Layout sub-menu, click to show the Menu Bar.

    Want to restore the Edit menu DELETE that's normally missing in W7 ???
    See Here

    With enough hacking .. W7 almost works as good as XP

    Now .. You may find you don't need Invert by working backwards :D :D
    If your purpose is to select many .. But not all ... By selecting the ones you don't want and inverting ... Try this.

    CRTL+A to Select All .. then CTRL+ Click the ones you don't want.

    Just a quick FYI - pressing the Alt key will make the file, edit etc. menu bar show temporarily.
