    Mass remove numbers within a lot of files


    Hello,I have a long list of files that i need the numbers removed from in separate folders. I just need those three numbers and the space to be removed so its only title.file extension. The file exemptions will change but an example of a couple are below. the zzz and xxx are not real extensions 035 title.gba035 title.srm036 title.zzz036 title.xxx037 title.zzzI figure its a powershell solution but I know very little about powershell so if anyone has a formula? to use it would be very appreciated. I have almost 2000 files to rename. Thank you in advance for your help!-Scott

    :)

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    \Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file9
    ...

    you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

    or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.
