What are some tips on renaming files?

Renaming Files

Computer tips and tricks: Windows XP lets you quickly go about renaming files. Single-click one of the files you want to rename, and then hold down the Ctrl button as you select the other files. Once all the files are highlighted, single-click one with the right mouse button, and single-click the Rename option. Type in the new name and hit enter. The files will all be renamed, so if you renamed the files “vacation,” the files would be vacation, vacation1, vacation2, etc. This is a really quick way to organize multiple photos.
