Can somebody help please?

Is there any way in Windows that i can rename all files in a directory as (say)

Russ1.jpg
Russ2.jpg
Russ3.jpg

without entering each one?

Downloading digital files 2-300 at a time is a nightmnare otherwise!

Thanks

Russ

Download a copy of Renamewiz - it does a fantastic job of renaming files in all sorts of permutations. This will sort you out.
