Batch File Renamer – Cleaning Up The Mess In Your Computer

If you are like a lot of people, your computer is a bit more of a mess than it needs to be. Almost everyone originally planned on keeping his or her computer nice and organized.

When you first set up your computer everything may have been nice and neat. Do you have a system where you would know just what a file was as soon as you looked at it because of the way you named it? As time went by, that system may have gone by the wayside as you were putting new pictures into your computer. Maybe it was because someone e-mailed the pictures that had different filenames that you saved somewhere in your system with those foreign names.

Give this a few months or years to really expand and suddenly you’re going to take a look at your computer and realize it’s a completely unorganized disaster where you need to rename files to sort it out. You make a decision on just how you want to go about this.

The hard way is naming each file, independently, and moving them individually to the directory where you want them to be located. With only a couple of files that need their names changed or to be moved to a different location on the computer this is not such a bad way to go.

But it will take way too long to do them individually if you have a lot of files that need to be moved or have a name change. Instead you need a batch renamer program. With this kind of program you can change a lot of filenames at the same time. Once you enlist the aid of a file renamer program you can highlight all of those family reunion pictures that everyone e-mailed you and with one click change them all to names that make sense and match one another. Versus the old style of doing it which would have taken all day or maybe many days this will let you finish it in just a few minutes.

If those pictures are not in the right place, once you have changed the name you can then drag all those highlighted names to a new directory to better sort out and organize your images.

Really, a batch renamer program is a great way to keep your computer organized and under control with the least amount of hassle possible.
