Rename your digital photos automatically in Windows XP

[s18000rpm]

Just found this while browsing CNET.com

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 the folder and select View > Thumbnails.

==>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.
Windows XP will highlight the filename for the first photo, enabling you to give it a descriptive name. 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.

I came to know about this trick from DIGIT magazine itself
When Windows XP was launched, DIGIT published a gr8 XP Tips-n-Tricks article of approx. 10 pages with lots of new features and such tips-n-tricks.
