Quickly Rename Multiple Files.
Anytime you connect your digital camera to your computer and download the images you get a list of files that are made up of numbers and letters that tell you nothing about the pictures you have taken. In Windows you can easily rename all of these files in less than 10 seconds.
In the folder that your images have been downloaded to you will see a list like this.
The next thing you want to do is select all the pictures. You can select all the files by holding down the left mouse button and dragging a window over all the files.
Once the pictures have been selected hit the F2 key on your keyboard. You will see that all the files are no longer selected and the first file is ready to be renamed. In this case we had a few pictures from a baseball game so we named the first picture “baseball” and hit Enter. All the pictures after the first one were named baseball plus 2, 3, 4 and so on automatically.
We just used image files as an example but you can use this for any type of files that you need to manage.
