We discussed earlier about how to rename a bunch of files in Vista, but what if you want to rename a group of files with names that discribe each one? Suppose you have a bunch of photo that you took with your camera and they have been named something like DSC_0001, DSC_002 and so on. Good news, you don’t have to go through the “right click and Rename” process each time.
Here’s how you do it:
- For the first photo in the group, right click and select Rename, then give the file its new name.
- Now just hit the Tab key, and it takes you to the next file and highlights the name enabling you to type in the new name.
- Hit Tab again to go to the next, and so forth until all the files have been renamed.
