open a command prompt and then switch to pictures folder. ren *.dat *jpeg it will rename all of them to picname.jpeg. Not sure if you are asking something else. - Subhash  Monthly giveaway -  Grab PC Safety Ebook

"ren *.dat *jpeg" Make sure you only rename the files in the Pictures folder, because if you change ALL .dat files on the C drive, you'll gonna have major probelms.

@ridder, Don't worry. Above command will not process sub-folders and in C: hardly any .jpeg or .dat files will be there. - Subhash  Monthly giveaway -  Must have Online safety Guide
