Off Topic: Brilliant article

[Glen Millar]

Hi,

Off topic because it relates to Win XP and digital images. But this article
took my fancy, because you can rename images as a whole bunch right within
Explorer:

Perfect for those rotten "Dscn* blah blah blah" names you get out of digital
cameras!

Better yet, select "thumbnails" as the view. Then select non-sequential groups
(Ctrl + click) and rename all of the pictures of grandma to "grandma(x).JPG" and
the pics of the dog as "dog(X).JPG". Naming them all "grandma(x).JPG" in
sequential groups might confuse the family and anger Grandma when everyone
starts saying things like "Sit!" and "Stay!" and "Roll over!"

ROFL!

Or "Go Home"!

Cute. But when I tried to answer the "Was this helpful" thing at the bottom, I
got this witty reply:

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object. We are experiencing
technical problems. Sorry for the inconvenience. We are still interested in
hearing your comments if you have time to provide your feedback. You can do one
of two things. You can close this window, refresh your browser, and submit your

Ah, those help writers sure do have a way with words.
