How to rename folder & file names across an entire drive?

Postby jarhtmd » Mon Jun 30, 2025 6:30 pm

I have 1,000s of image files saved in multiple formats (jpg, tif, raw, psd, etc). They are scattered throughout my computer. Some are at the top of the folder/subfolder "tree". Others are buried at varying depths within the "tree". Some are not in "tree" at all. Is there a way to search an entire drive and change selected file/folder names, no matter how shallow or deeply they are embedded . . . without having to select each & every folder & subfolder on the drive? I have software that will find folder & file names containing the literals that I want to change.

In other words, change the folder and/or filename anywhere on the drive whenever either or both match the criteria

Examples;
change ABC to CBA (anywhere on D drive)

D:/ABC.jpg

D:/ABCxyz.jpg

D:/Folder1/ABCxyz.jpg

D:/Folder1/Subfolder1/ABCxyz.jpg

D:/Folder1/Subfolder2/ABCxyz.jpg

D:/Folder1/Subfolder2/Subfolder3/ABC.jpg

D:/abc/abc.tif

D:/XYZ/abc.tif

D:/.../.../abc.tif

D:/.../.../abc/.../abc.tif
