I've resorted to the brute force method: Put numbers in front of
the names. 001 002 003 etc.

I too have had to resort to that solution. Just try to put enough
zeros in to handle any future growth. It is a real pain to have to go
back through and add them after the fact.

Let the computer do the hard work. Use a free program like Bulk Rename
Utility to manipulate the filenames.

If you can think of a requirement for renaming a group of files, BRU
can very likely handle it with ease.


Part of the problem is that the OP wants to arrange the slides in some
order other than that they were scanned in. That means looking at each
slide and determining where it goes in the sequence. I think that would
be hard to do in a batch file.
