About this tag

A recurring theme is the desire for improved file renaming workflows, such as reducing the number of mouse clicks needed to edit filenames in the Details view. Users explore options like custom column implementations to add text-editing-like behavior directly in the filename column, alongside standard columns for drag-and-drop and multi-file selection. The tag covers user requests for third-party tools or scripting solutions that enhance Explorer's default capabilities, particularly for power users seeking more efficient file management. Topics are centered on Windows XP-era Explorer customization but may apply to other versions.
