Some more XP tips for you all Chris and Caroline I like to take digital pictures and I end of with lots of photos on lots of floppies. They are all listed with duplicate letters and numbers for file names. I like to file them in my pictures and don't always want to name each file individually. I found a way to name them all quickly. I highlight the ones I want to rename (I am using XP)by clicking near one of them and drawing the box around them to highlight several files and then I right click on them and select rename. Then I type in a general name like yard and then click on a blank place near the file. After a little delay--it names all the files at once--like--yard, yard (1), yard (2) etc. It is a real time saver for me. ---------------------------------------- --- All of our Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
