How to mass rename multiple files in Windows 7

A less known but very useful feature that works since Windows XP has been released. You can easily rename a bunch of files in a matter of seconds, let me show you how.

1.
 

In Windows Explorer (Win key + E for a keyboard shortcut) go to the folder where you the files that you want to bulk rename are located.

I'm going to rename a bunch of pictures that were taken in Las Vegas into something more appealing than a bunch of numbers my phone camera is storing.

Select the files you want to mass rename ...

 
 
2.
 

... right click the selection and choose Rename.

 
 
3.
 

Enter the new name for the files and press Enter.

 
 
4.
 

All the files you selected should now have a new name and a number to make them apart.
