SyncToy from Microsoft | How to synchronize files

If your online life is divided at different locations; like office and home, you may be wanting to synchronize different files and folders, which are located at your office computer, your home PC, your laptop and your USB drives.

There are many options. Simple copy and paste. But that is too crude.

A few freeware like Allway Sync etc. They are nice but, somehow, I am always skeptical of using third party software.

Now Microsoft has released latest version of SyncToy 2.0 beta for letting you synchronize your files. It is free and comes from a trustworthy source like Microsoft. And so, I like it. With this, you can easily copy, move, rename, and delete files between folders and computers so as to achieve perfect synchronization.
Independent Thoughts:
Getting domain registration is the first step of site hosting. A cheap web hosting service may be employed, in order to save more for wireless internet providers. But this fact should not effect the affiliate marketing. Installing internet phone services depends upon the host too and software tools are also available to check the affiliate.

Renaming multiple files in Windows


Last time, when I transferred photos of the birthday party of my daughter from my digital camera to the PC, they were stored with a series of some unrecognizable names like DSCZ123 and so on. It was a pain to rename them one by one because there were about 85 of them.

It triggered me to search for an easier method, and lo… there was it.

Just select multiple files to whom you want to rename, right click the mouse and select Rename. In the Dialog box, type any name say abcde and click OK, then all the selected file will be renamed like abcde(1), abcde(2), abcde(3) and so on.

That’s what exactly I wanted. Now those photos are named as Birthday (1)…….to Birthday (85).

Yeah…..may the life would also have been that simple.

Bonus Tip: If you want that the names should start from a fixed number n, say Birthday(12), Birthday(13) and so on, you have to write Birthday (12) in place of only Birthday in the rename files dialog box.
