Bad boy Warrior Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I have 100+ folders which have incorrect casing on a shared drive on a WS2003. I would like to have all folders that have all upper casing to be changed to Folder (first letter capital and reminader lower case)- any easy way that this can be done?Thanks
DL. Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I use Rename Master to quickly rename multiple files and folders.It's a single .exe-file.You may have to change the view option to "folders only", by default only files are shown.
Stoic Joker Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Might give this a shotYou can enable this feature in the following manner:Open the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).Navigate to the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\Advanced.Double-click DontPrettyPath from the right pane of the Registry Editor. (If the DontPrettyPath key doesn't exist, you'll need to create a new REG_DWORD value with this name.)Set the value to 0 to enable PrettyPath.Click OK.Close the Registry Editor.Restart Windows.
DL. Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 What Stoic Joker said is how to set the way folder names are shown, my suggestion is for renaming them.
Stoic Joker Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 What Stoic Joker said is how to set the way folder names are shown, my suggestion is for renaming them.Your app suggestion may actually be a better idea, as it will focus the changes on a specific target ... depending on its flexability (Rename file to same name but change case). The Pretty Path reg hack will globally change every file on the box, which could create a larger problem...
DL. Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 If you change the reg setting, it won't cause any problems since the files aren't actually renamed in any way.
os2fan2 Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I use file manager/w for this. If you want to set the case to upper/lower/proper, then you highlight the victims, and it happens automatically. You can handle extentions as well.Some proggies are case sensitive to the file-system.
