Bulk Rename Facility – for files

Bulk Rename Facility – for files

Bulk Rename Utility is an easy to use file rename program (a.k.a. file renamer). Renaming multiple files has never been easier! It has a small memory footprint so it can be left running all the time without consuming all your memory. It started as a freeware Visual Basic tool, but as its popularity has grown it has been completely rewritten in C++ to be robust and lightweight – and very, very fast! It can easily handle folders/discs containing well over 100,000 entries… and it can batch rename 1,000s of files in seconds.

The software is freeware and gets downloaded very frequently. It has a large base of regular users. Most of the features have originated from other users’ suggestions. As such, it is continually being enhanced and improved.

As well as being “recommended” by a number of web sites, Bulk Rename Utilityhas also appeared on many magazine cover-discs, from Brazil to Sweden software!

Enabling Telnet on Vista or Windows 7

One thing I almost immediately noticed when Vista (and more recently Win7)  came out was that if I open a a command prompt and try to use telnet, I get informed that ‘telnet’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Telnet is one of the first tools I use toContinue reading “Enabling Telnet on Vista or Windows 7”
