Batch File Renaming Possible? is it possible to batch file name in Windows 7?
I have many videos and music that needs renaming often but i'm wary of 3rd party apps.
I use to use rename-it! back when i had vista and xp but it hasn't been updated for Windows 7 | My System Specs |

You can select a bunch of files and then right click on the first file, select Rename, type a name (ex. XYZ.txt), all the files will be renamed.
The first file will be XYZ.txt and the others will be XYZ (1).txt, XYZ (2).txt, XYZ (3).txt, ......

I've always used Better File Rename. I work with many image, sound and video files and use this program a lot to change 100's a file names at once.
Just Google it....there is a trial version so you can try it out.
Just copy a bunch of files into a folder on your desktop to experiment with the various settings...
I use a slightly older version 4.9.5 | My System Specs | | |

Worth learning to use.
