- Bulk renaming of files
- Posted by Ecka on January 11th, 2006
I need to rename about half of the thousand or so files in a specific
directory to get rid of the prefix and just leave the descriptive file name.
Is there a way to do this in Windows XP?
Any help is MUCH appreciated.
Thanks in advance

No. But you can do this with third-party software like the Total
Commander (http://www.ghisler.com/).

Magic File Renamer can do this and much more. It's not free but it does the
job well.
