Did a no-no and need help in Windows explorer


Recommended Posts

It's looking like this at first
 

C:\ted_b>dir/s/b
C:\ted_b\Album1
C:\ted_b\Album2
C:\ted_b\Album3
C:\ted_b\Album4
C:\ted_b\Album5
C:\ted_b\Album1\folder (1).jpg
C:\ted_b\Album2\folder (1).jpg
C:\ted_b\Album3\folder (1).jpg
C:\ted_b\Album4\folder (1).jpg
C:\ted_b\Album5\folder (1).jpg

 

Then we're running this

 

FOR /R %f IN (*folder*.jpg) DO REN "%f" folder.jpg

 

It's gonna do this recursively

 

C:\ted_b>REN "C:\ted_b\Album1\folder (1).jpg" folder.jpg

C:\ted_b>REN "C:\ted_b\Album2\folder (1).jpg" folder.jpg

C:\ted_b>REN "C:\ted_b\Album3\folder (1).jpg" folder.jpg

C:\ted_b>REN "C:\ted_b\Album4\folder (1).jpg" folder.jpg

C:\ted_b>REN "C:\ted_b\Album5\folder (1).jpg" folder.jpg

 

Finally we're getting this

 

C:\ted_b>dir/s/b
C:\ted_b\Album1
C:\ted_b\Album2
C:\ted_b\Album3
C:\ted_b\Album4
C:\ted_b\Album5
C:\ted_b\Album1\folder.jpg
C:\ted_b\Album2\folder.jpg
C:\ted_b\Album3\folder.jpg
C:\ted_b\Album4\folder.jpg
C:\ted_b\Album5\folder.jpg

 

Could that be good enough? If not, maybe try another freeware instead

From this article, about different File rename software :

https://windowsreport.com/file-rename-software/

I downloaded 8 of them and, finally, after intensive testing, my preference is for the powerful free renamer software, called Rename Master.

Well, it's always a good idea to do a "trial run" by making a brand new folder C:\losslessmusic first.

 

Then copy a handful of folders from K:\losslessmusic to C:\losslessmusic afterwards.

 

After that, you could "practice" with either Rename Master or Command Prompt.

 

I don't have to provide instructions for the former one, let's see how the latter one goes then.

 

Start → Run → cmd → OK

CD \losslessmusic will change to the folder C:\losslessmusic

DIR/s/b *.jpg will show you all *.jpg files

DIR/s/b *.jpg again and voila!
