[dba-Tech] Renaming files in Windows Explorer

if the recommended Irfanview doesnt help, I have a little Access db (2k) which
allows you to replace one (always the same) part of the filename with something
else.
I had written this to get rid of the DSCN, cause for some purpose the name
(DSCN1905) was too long. but you can replace any part of the name with something
else.
only problem is, it is written in German.
if you wnat it, let me know. you may change it to English and make it available
to DBA

> 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?
