TIP - Rename all photos in a folder in one go (Win XP)

A little bit off topic, but I found a great way to rename all the photographs in a single folder when using Windows XP. It's very simple, just carry out the following steps:-

  1. Select all the files which need renaming.
  2. Right click on the first file, and click "Rename"
  3. Give the file a name, which will be repeated in each other file name, and press return.
  4. All the files will be renamed, including a numeric increment. For example, if you gave the filename "birthday.jpg", then they will be renamed "birthday(1).jpg", "birthday(2).jpg", etc

Nice little time saving tip. Original article here - http://www.microsoft.com/athome/morefun/renamephotos.mspx
