At first I wasn&#8217;t sure if it was a new feature in Windows 7 (I&#8217;ve since tested and found XP will do something similar, so I guess Vista will too) but I was bulk renaming files and found that Explorer would allow me to rename several files to the same filename root, but suffixed with an identifier to ensure that each file name was unique.<\/p>\n<p>For example, imagine you work for an organisation that produces a lot of customer design documents but which is really keen on re-use.  Some customisation is inevitable but you might start out with a template document, or you might work from a documentation set produced for a similar customer environment.<\/p>\n<p>In this example, I have three documents in my set:<\/p>\n<p>Customer X &#8211; Infrastructure Design (AD)<br \/>\nCustomer X &#8211; Infrastructure Design (Exchange)<br \/>\nCustomer X &#8211; Infrastructure Design (SharePoint)<\/p>\n<p>If I copy and paste these, I now have 6 documents:<\/p>\n<p>Customer X &#8211; Infrastructure Design (AD) &#8211; Copy<br \/>\nCustomer X &#8211; Infrastructure Design (AD)<br \/>\nCustomer X &#8211; Infrastructure Design (Exchange) &#8211; Copy<br \/>\nCustomer X &#8211; Infrastructure Design (Exchange)<br \/>\nCustomer X &#8211; Infrastructure Design (SharePoint) &#8211; Copy<br \/>\nCustomer X &#8211; Infrastructure Design (SharePoint)<\/p>\n<p>Keeping the copies highlighted, if I right click and select Rename, I can rename them all to a common root of <code>Customer Y - Infrastructure Design<\/code>.  The resulting directory structure is:<\/p>\n<p>Customer X &#8211; Infrastructure Design (AD)<br \/>\nCustomer X &#8211; Infrastructure Design (Exchange)<br \/>\nCustomer X &#8211; Infrastructure Design (SharePoint)<br \/>\nCustomer Y &#8211; Infrastructure Design (3)<br \/>\nCustomer Y &#8211; Infrastructure Design (2)<br \/>\nCustomer Y &#8211; Infrastructure Design<\/p>\n<p>At this point, it&#8217;s now very simple (faster than renaming each file individually and typing the whole filename would have been) to amend the end of each filename to get what I really wanted:<\/p>\n<p>Customer X &#8211; Infrastructure Design (AD)<br \/>\nCustomer X &#8211; Infrastructure Design (Exchange)<br \/>\nCustomer X &#8211; Infrastructure Design (SharePoint)<br \/>\nCustomer Y &#8211; Infrastructure Design (AD)<br \/>\nCustomer Y &#8211; Infrastructure Design (Exchange)<br \/>\nCustomer Y &#8211; Infrastructure Design (SharePoint)<\/p>\n<p>Some people may be unimpressed.
