| | Rename a tag Windows Photo Gallery lets you rename a tag used on potentially hundreds of photos and videos in a single operation. Is there a similar utility for other types of files? |

| | Re: Rename a tag You can try to Search (advanced) for the tag, tag  whatever)select the files it finds, and rename the tag. (in theory, of course, depending on how well Search works) Or you can go to a folder containing the files, add the Tag column (right-click on the Name column heading & select Tags) sort on the Tag column, select the files with the tag you want to change, and type in a new tag in the Details Pane at the bottom.
