About this tag
Bulk editing on WindowsForum.com covers tools and techniques for applying changes to multiple files or text passages at once.

Is it possible to rename only part of a filename when multiple files are selected in Windows Explorer?
I sometimes have hundreds of files to rename and I have to do them individually.
