Hi All,
I have a bunch of folders with picture files from my digital camera.  It (the camera) numbers them aoutomatically, e.g., 101_0110, 101_0111, 101_0112, etc.  I would like to get all the pictures into one folder but a lot of the names are the same because when you erase the memory module in the camera it starts the numbering sequence over.  My question, is there a way I can rename a bunch of files in a folder at one time, e.g., rename all the "101_" to "NewOrleans" and leave the trailing numbers for uniqueness, then I could get them all in one folder with a prefix that is neaningful.  Any thoughts on how to do this?
BTW Win 98 SE.
