The following text is copied from Vista "Help and Support". The 'Tip' for
renaming several file does not work!! It produces apparently random results.
It works OK in XP but not Vista.
Please can anybody explain.

To rename a file, you do not need to open the file in a program.
Right-click the file that you want to rename, and then click Rename.
Type the new name, and then press ENTER. If you are prompted for an
administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide
confirmation.
Tip
You can also rename several files at once. If you give files of the same
type the same name, each file will have the same name followed by a
different sequential number (such as Renamed File (2), Renamed File (3), and
so on). This can be useful for grouping related items. To do this, select
all the files you want to rename, and then follow the same steps as you
would for renaming an individual file. Each of the files will be saved with
the new name, and a different sequential number will be appended
automatically to the end of each file name.
