Tips and tricks for Windows XP
Featured tip: Rename many pictures at once
If you import digital photos, you're going to
love this tip.
1. Open the folder where you've saved your
pictures. Select your first batch of pictures to
rename.
2. Right-click the first picture selected and
then click Rename.
3. Rename the first picture to whatever you like
(for example, Boston Vacation), then click any
empty space within the window to deselect the
pictures.
Your pictures automatically rename themselves
("Boston Vacation (1)," "Boston
Vacation (2)," etc.). This tip also works to
rename any collection of files.
Featured tip is courtesy of the book Windows XP Killer Tips by Kleber Stephenson.
