  1. Search and Replace in Windows Explorer


    I have a folder with some 200 books in .txt format. About 40 of the titles begin with the word 'the', ex. The Plague, The Four Horsemen, etc. I was wondering if in Windows Explorer there is some way I can remove all instances of the initial 'the' in one fell swoop; something like Search and Replace? Unfortunately, the word 'the' also appears within titles but other than as the initial, as in The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I Googled a solution but without success. I'm trying to spare myself the need for individual removal by hand.

    Any advice, suggestions, gossip is appreciated in advance.

    :)

    Windows Explorer Replacement?

    j0 all.

    The thing is, I have a very annoying problem with the Windows Explorer: It crashes. Quite often and quite random. I have NO idea what the problem is, and I've searched the computer for viruses, trojans and everything, but there is nothing I can find.

    So, I decided to drop it and use something else. Any suggestions? It must be easy to use, of course. *Stick Out Tongue Search and Replace in Windows Explorer :p

    Peace
