  5. Windows 8 Wrong filenames

    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.

    Windows 7 File renaming problem

    When I try to rename a file, I right click on the current filename then left click on "rename" . But it doesn't give me enough time to go to the filename to change it. This doesn't happen all the time, but enough times to really frustrate me. At the same time, I notice that the open windows...

    Windows 7 Permissions problems (Program Files folder?)

    Hi all, I'm running into three issues which I'm guessing are related -- 1) Windows 7 seems to protect certain folder trees differently than others. In particular, the Program Files tree. If I try to copy a file to a folder in that tree or rename a file in one of the folders, I get a dialog...
