Vista Tutorial - Automatic Photo Renaming

Hey Everyone!

I was hoping you could help me out with a problem. When I am
downloading my camera's Compact Flash card onto the computer the
wizard prompts me for a file name. When I give it a file name, and all
the dust settles, my files are now "Folder Name 01, Folder Name
02...." So on, and so forth.

Is there any way to allow the files to keep the name that my camera
assigns them when they are taken; instead of their being renamed based
on the file name? My filing system is based on the former, and making
a switch would be problematic.

Thanks for the help!

Later,

Ben Hector

I use the Siren program, very handy, renaming pictures with date an time
(using this expession %Xdo(1,4)_%Xdo(5,11).%e).
