Rename Multiple Files At Once

When you download photos from your digital camera,
they often have unrecognizable
names. You can rename several
similar files at once with the
following procedure. This also
works for renaming other types of files.

1.Open the My Pictures folder.
(Click Start, and then click My
Pictures.) Or open another folder
containing files that you want to
rename.
2.Select the files you want to
rename. If the files you want are
not adjacent in the file list, press
and hold CTRL, and then click
each item to select it.
3.On the File menu, click Rename.
4.Type the new name, and then
press ENTER.

All of the files in the series will
be named in sequence using the
new name you type. For
example, if you type Birthday,
the first will be named Birthday
and subsequent files in the series will be named Birthday (1),
Birthday (2), and so on. To
specify the starting number for
the series, type the starting
number in parentheses after the
new file name. The files in the series will be numbered in
sequence starting with the
number you type. For example, if
you type Birthday (10), the
other files will be named Birthday
(11), Birthday (12), and so on.
