Re: Reordering Files

Thanks, but I generally need to keep them in name order. For example, I work
a lot with word docs and their associated PDFs. When changing the name of
each file in a large number of pairs, it doesn't help when files jump all
over the place.

Easy in XP. More difficult in Vista. (How many times have I said that to
myself?)

Cheers anyway
