I have a large library of music file names (mp3 files) that I need to change to conform to certain criteria. 1. I need to append the two digits "00" to the beginning of certain filenames that do not have a track number 2. I need to replace the two characters "(a space)-", that may appear...

I hope I'm in the right place. A while back I was copying some family files over from some (a few ancient, like 1990s) hard drives on my Ubuntu rig over to a new external 1TB NTFS HD formatted in Windows 8, nothing special. I was using the Ubuntu rig cause a few of them wouldn't initialize in...

Hi I have a folder with around 40,000 jpg images, family photos etc. I spend my spare time renaming the images, so for instance an original photo named P01234567 might become P01234567-andy-les-jane, thus showing the names of people actually in the photo. This is great since I can then search...

When your copying a data CD or folder or whatever, when your copying anything windows should check to see if the file names are going to be too long BEFORE it copies or movies, to stop things from being so difficult. Personally, I backup large amounts of data sorted into many folders and...

Years back, there was this great computer program called Music Match Juke Box. It could rip CDs, name the files according to a selected protocol, play your pmusic as aserial playlist or random assortment and it could burn Audio CDs and WMA or MP3 CDs with voulme leveling. I bought a copy with...

I am trying to control which thumbnails display on folder icons in my Pictures library. Right now, all of the folder icons show thumbnails of 2 pictures. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which 2 pictures are chosen (obviously that is not true, it just seems that way). I assumed that...

I try to search them but nothing is coming up and then I saved/created again but the computer tells me "another file with that name already existed..." but I don't seem them anywhere in the folder. What is happening?

Capturing on the Mac is extremely fast in that you just press Alt Shift 4, aim and snap, it automatically saves it with the date and time as the name of the file. How can you automatically save what you captured right after you captured it, with the name automatically set to the date and...

Sorry - ignore - Mods can delete post as I just found the answer :) Put the search in quotes! =============== Hi all I unfortunately "hard" deleted a folder I really needed but have thankfully managed to recover almost all of the files in it (nearly 2000 of them!!). The problem now is that in...

I have 2 files with different extensions, they must reference each-other with the same name but windows 7 renames the files because they are the same. How to disable this setting? Thanks.

I've Googled and searched ....... but ain't never see'd anything on this one ! I've got 2 folders at the top of my C drive, each containing a long string of numbers. But then , the names end with several "Z"s . AND, opening the folder in Explorer, you'll see a string of sub-folders , all...

I am using WAMP server 2.0 on Windows 7. Due to Windows being case insenstive in regards to file names, MySQL is forced to treat the table names 'mytable' and 'MyTable' as being the same, which they are not (personal opinion). MySQL is unable due to Windows file naming system to rename tables...

I'm trying to copy a series of files from my old XP machine to the new Win 7 machine. I've turned off User access control, I made myself the owner of the machine, etc., the files on the old machine have no permissions preventing the copying. I am the owner of both machines and there is no...

What am I missing? Just upgraded to Win7 and am having an issue renaming photos after I import them. I shoot both jpg and RAW depending on the circumstances so both file types can be on the card. To rename from the basic "DSC_0001" I have always just highlighted all the pics and then hit...

Sooooo I have no idea why this file will not delete. I had a simple .wav file called welcome.wav It was placed on the desktop When making a copy of it, (the copy was on the desktop, too) I accidentally named it "welcome.wav." If you can't see, this copied file had a period at the end of it...

Hi I absolute dont like the way Win 7 behaves, when connecting a camera. In XP, I could choose which pictures to import, and give them names, and XP would number them for me, for instance import into C:\Pictures\2009, and the pictures would be named 2009 001.jpg and so on. Now I dont...
