Computer Recipes

It’s something that happens to everyone, suddenly all the files in your computer become a little messier than you hoped they would be. Organization is usually one of the things people think about when it comes to their computers.

You probably kept everything nice and neat when you first got your computer. Maybe you even took the time to make sure that every file was even named properly so you knew what it was in just a look. However, every now and then a couple pictures would sneak in that didn’t have the same type of file name system. The first time you may have noticed the problem was after a couple e-mails from people sending you pictures that had different file names and got saved to various directories.

After a few months or even years of this you may have a mess of pictures that are all over the place and you may feel you need to organize and rename files to make sense of it all. There are a few ways to go about this.

If you want to waste a lot of time you can go file by file and change the names and locations of them on your computer. If your computer is mostly organized, and you only have a couple of files that need name changes or location changes this may not be so bad.

But if you have a lot of files, it could take hours or even days to rename them one file at a time. In that case you need a batch renamer program. With this kind of program you can change a lot of filenames at the same time. With just a couple quick adjustments in a file renamer, you can highlight all those family reunion pictures that were sent in from all your siblings and relatives into the same names and same file types as well as putting them in the same directory for easy sorting. Forget the old way of changing files one at a time, using this type of program lets you get everything sorted out in no time flat.

This way you can just quickly look through the architecture of your computer, highlight all of the files that are out of place, and quickly put them just where you want them to be with their new name.

With the help of a batch renamer program you will be much happier with how organized you are and how easy it is to keep your computer that way.
