    Change naming convention for WP pictures and videos?

    Is there a way to change the filename convention for new photos and videos?

    Here is why I am asking: we have 2 WP phones, and we periodically combine photos from both. Since the phones use the same naming convention, I risk overwriting the files (WP_00001 from one phone with WP_00001 from the other phone).

    I have not been able to find any options either on the phone or in Zune to change the naming convention. Is ther a way to do this?

    Thanks

    Change naming convention for WP pictures and videos?

    Also, meta information is not kept in the video file itself so the ability specify a naming convention would be helpful for that reason.

    WP_000001.mp4 is meaningless... how about something like PhoneName-20110530-002453.mp4

    At least would solve the problem I'm having as well as your filenames colliding.

    services policy naming conventions in WIndows 10 updates

    recently I had to re-install windows 10 due to some issues I was having. After doing so, I noticed and documented several services that had a new naming convention. Specifically, the new suspicious services had names that included a series of lowercase
    alpha numeric characters, contrary to the naming policy conventions of the past. Are these bona-fide services, that should be part of the latest set of WIndows 10 updates?
