    ThumbsUp Rename a series of files simaltaneously!

    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.

    Code:
    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.
    Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.

    There are two simple reasons for. First, you can make your files more clearly see what they contain. Once you rename your files with a description language, or creating the file attributes, you can immediately realize what they are when you see the files again days or months or years later. Apparently, with the advantage of batch renaming of files, you can save all your files better, and the most important thing is that you can clearly know what is in your files when you use them again.
