Renaming Multiple Files at one go

Sometimes, we will encounter situations where we need to rename multiple files at one go. For example, you might have a few photos, and you want them to be named as "China Trip 1st Day". Windows actually provides a hidden feature for you to rename all the files at one go.

To do that, do the following:

1. Run your Windows Explorer
2. Go to the directory containing the files you wish to rename (note that this tip works on all types of files)
3. Highlight the files you wish to rename by using the shift/ctrl key and the mouse.
4. Right-click on the first highlighted file and click on Rename
5. Rename it to the name you wish. Do not leave out the extension.

That's all to it. Using the example above, you will see the files that are renamed in this format:

• China Trip 1st Day.jpg
• China Trip 1st Day (1).jpg
• China Trip 1st Day (2).jpg
• etc
  

If you've renamed it wrongly, just press Ctrl Z to undo your changes. Hope this is useful.
