I was re-populating a re-imaged system due to BSOD corrupting the boot
where I had a devil of a time _finding_ this old randomnames.bat file which will randomly name any number of JPEG files to unique names each. I use it when I take a bunch of screenshots over long periods of time, and edit them one by one, as needed, where the names aren't in the order of the screenshots anyway, and there are too many to rename manually, so I rename them randomly - which makes each one distinct. If you need it, it's useful. o If you don't need it - it's just a sample of randomizing algorithms. @ECHO OFF ECHO Random Names ECHO Written By: Jason Faulkner ECHO HowToGeek.com ECHO. ECHO.

SETLOCAL EnableExtensions EnableDelayedExpansion REM 0 = Rename the file randomly. REM 1 = Prepend the existing file name with randomly generated string.
