Can I change the way windows names shortcuts?

[mjquilly]

I've ripped almost all of my music cd's to mp3 format, and I have them all in seperate folders by Genre->Artist->Album. I'd like to make one folder which contains sortcuts to all the mp3's, but when I do this, the shortcuts get named as, "Short Cut to Artist - Songname.mp3". How can I get rid of the "Short Cut to" part?

<< right click, rename... >>



dooood, that would take forever...we're talking over 200 cd's worth of mp3's here...I'll give TweakUI a shot. Would there be an easy way to rename all files starting w/ "Shortcut to..." by using the command line?

OK, here's an idea. I *think* the following script would work in unix:

foreach file ("Shortcut to*")
mv $file `echo $file | tr "Shortcut to" ""`


Is there a comparable command to "tr" in windows?

My bad, when I first read your post I thought you wanted to prevent future occurances of "Shortcut to".

I'm sure there's a way to script or write a batch, but I've never had a reason to attempt it. Try RenameWiz. Then install TweakUI and you won't have to worry about it anymore.

I installed it, but where in TweakUI do I change this?
