@Vaibhav: This is really useful! Thanks so much for sharing!

@SineadOConnor: It’s still possible to undo by pressing “Ctrl + z”. I accidentally rename it wrongly and was able to undo it just now when I tried it haha.

Of course, there are so many features that could get you in trouble. Shift+Delete for example after pressing Ctrl+A. C’mon, how can you use this accidentally?

Isn’t it ironic? nobody got the point, that this “feature” is a pain in the ass, as it may get you into serious trouble, if it is accidentially used, as there’s no undo in windows explorer. just look at the two screenshots. how do i disable this bullshit?

Hey, thanks for the tip. This ain’t stupid, it’s very helpful IMO. Your method solved a problem that a mass renaming program couldn’t solve because the program couldn’t read the characters in the filename. Many thanks.

there is a short dos script to mass rename files with similar names:

for /f “delims=’.’ tokens=1,*” %i in (‘dir /b “*.txt*”‘) do @ren “%i.%j” “%i.txt”

Thanks for the tip, this actually came in very handy for me. I listen to audio books on my BB, but all the books are the same no title track 1, track 2 etc. up to 100 and are separated into multiple books, but if you want to put all the books you end up with 10 track 1′s, 10 track 2′s etc and then doesn’t play in order. with this tip I was able to rename all the tracks at one time so now its book1(1) book2(1). Very helpful and saved me. Thanks for posting.
