It's tedious work labeling vacation photos, naming them Europe_1.jpg, Europe_2.jpg, etc. Luckily, you don't have to do this if you're running Windows XP. Simply perform this hack to quickly apply a meaningful label to every picture in the folder. - Open the picture file folder and select View, Thumbnails.
- Select all the pictures by clicking the first picture once, holding the Shift key, and clicking the last picture once.
- 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 rename it.
- Type in the new name, for example, SummerVacation_1, and hit Enter.
Windows then applies the name with a sequential number to each picture in the folder. When renaming, you may get this pop-up warning: 
If so, click No, and insert the file type as a suffix to your new name. For example, if you see .jpgSummerPic, change SummerPic to SummerPic.jpg. at the end of the photo you are renaming Labels: digital camera, digital photo, digital photography |
