Advanced Explorer Renaming Technique You Probably Never Heard Of
Despite the fact that i almost do not use standard file explorer and consider it as a tool for amateurs,
especially when we have wonderful orthodox [Far]
file and archive manager for really advanced workflows,
I have a gut feeling that i must share this not so famous windows explorer information with my readers.
Say we have three various folders we need to rename simultaneously.
Put a cursor to the last one and press + ,
to select all folders up to the top directory.
Say we need to get rid of second word in the naming for all folders.
Press , remove word “One”, hit + ,
and ta-da,
our folders magically renamed in a snap of fingers!
Be aware that we are talking about Windows 7/8 here, i don’t have idea if it is working in 10/11 or not.
Hope that they are not so f#ckin’ dumb to remove functionality for advanced users, but who really knows…
Ok, since i am in a neat mood today i’ll you give some more useful hints.
- did you know that you can close windows by double clicking left corner of the window?
- did you know that you can transfer window to another monitor without touching the mouse
by pressing + + / ? - did you know that the fastest way to open elevated command line with administrative rights
is to press + + , then select File and while holding click New Task… ?
So, stick with the project and you will learn quite unusual things not lying around on the surface.
