    I renamed a file back in April & now I can't locate it in my word.docs.

    I've forgotten what the change in the files name was.

    Can anyone give me advice on how to find it?

    I have some of the key words that are still in the title, but I've had no luck locating it.

    I've read through every title of every one of my word documents, but it doesn't seem to be there?

    Any ideas on how to find it or where it could be hiding...?

    :)

    Can't locate my pictures.pd2 file

    I need to rename my pictures.pd2 file to .old, this happens off and on in Microsoft digital imaging where I need to do this, and I have forgotten how to locate the file. Can someone tell me the exact steps in file manager, Windows, then what? then what?
    Or how else can I find this file? Thanks

  3. File renamer utility?

    Is there a good file renamer utility that's safe to use anyone could recommend? I used to use Gizmo's list for app suggestions but this particular application has not been reviewed in several years, so I don't know if those apps are safe to use or not.

    I have many files I need to rename but keep the individuality of the names. For instance, I need to rename all files in a particular folder from yyyy.mm.pdf to AMEXyyyy.mm.pdf keeping the yyyy.mm data unique. Another folder has a ton of files that need to be renamed from yyyy.mm.pdf to Visayyyy.mm.pdf.

    I had all this figured out a month or so back but have already forgotten how I did it using an arcane script in either cmd prompt or powershell, I can't remember which. And now I'm drawing a blank how to do it. Again. smh. So I thought a nice freeware file renamer might help me out.

    I can't rename files in Windows 10

    This worked once on one file in my folder --- then back to the same =rename= is not displayed by explorer.

    Would be nice to make a permanent change so rename would always show. What the hell was the idea in hiding it in the first place?????????
