How to Rename Drive Letters

To change drive letters (useful if you have two drives and have partitioned the boot drive, but the secondary drive shows up as "D")

Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management, Disk Management, then right-click the partition whose name you want to change (click in the white area just below the word "Volume") and select "change drive letter and paths."

From here you can add, remove or change drive letters and paths to the partition.

Renaming Multiple Files

When you download photos from your digital camera, they often have unrecognizable names. You can rename several similar files at once with the following procedure. This also works for renaming other types of files.

• Open folder containing files that you want to rename.
• Select the files you want to rename. If the files you want are not adjacent in the file list, press and hold CTRL, and then click each item to select it.
• On the File menu, click Rename.
• Type the new name, and then press ENTER.

All the files be named in sequence using the new name you type. For example, if you type Anniversary, the first will be named Anniversary and subsequent files in the series will be named Anniversary (1), Anniversary (2), and so on. To specify the starting number for the series, type the starting number in parentheses after the new file name. The files in the series will be numbered in sequence starting with the number you type. For example, if you type Anniversary (10), the other files will be named Anniversary (11), Anniversary (12), and so on.

How to Run Old Programs on XP

Sometimes we get stuck as there are many old programs which don't run on Windows XP, now to overcome this problem here's a solution.


1.Right–click the executable or the program shortcut to the executable, and then click Properties.

2.Select the Run this program in compatibility mode check box.

3.From the list, select an operating system that the program runs in comfortably.

If necessary, also change the display settings and/or resolution, or disable the Windows XP visual themes.
Run the program again when you’re finished changing the settings. Adjust the compatibility settings again if the program is still not running smoothly: a program that’s unhappy on Windows 2000 may flourish on Windows 98.
