It's easy to automatically rename many files at once (called "batching") with both Windows XP and Windows Vista®.

  1. Open a folder of images you want to rename.
  2. Highlight all the images in the folder by selecting Edit and Select All from the menu bar (or Ctrl A).
  3. Right click the first photo in the folder and select Rename.
  4. Enter a name that describes every image in the folder. For example: "Becky's_birthday_2008.jpg."
  5. Windows XP or Vista will then automatically rename all the files in the folder and number them in order.
