2 Responses to Rename Multiple Files in Vista [How To]

Do you have a collection of these things? I’ve just started using Vista (well, Server 2008 with Aero), and I’m really enjoying the interface, Explorer’s revampment and so on.
An example of related things are selecting multiple taskbar items while holding Ctrl and being able to stack or tile them (the previous way with task manager was tedious).
Anyway, thanks for this. Tab works just as well for a selection of files too and I prefer this over Enter if you want to add that in
