Unless you really have a lot of time on your hands, I doubt you want to go through the massive folder that contains your European vacation photos and rename them Europe_1.jpg, Europe_2.jpg, and so on down the line. If you're running Windows XP on your computer, you don't have to do this. Simply apply this hack to quickly apply a meaningful label to every picture in the folder.
- First, open your folder.
- First, open your folder.
- Click the last picture in the folder you want to rename, hold down the Shift key, and click the first picture; this will select them all.
- Right-click the first photo, and select Rename from the drop-down menu.
- This example, I will rename first file to Myphoto.jpg
- After you type in the name, click the white space outside of the photo and watch as Windows applies the name with a sequential number to each picture in the folder.
