Rename pics, security warning, on line storage, etc.

Rename multiple photos -
If you take a bunch of pictures of, let's say, your cousin Jane's wedding, your digital camera will probably name them something like DSCN0001, DSCN0002 and so forth. Not very helpful when you want to go back and find them later. But renaming all 432 pictures individually can be a hassle. With XP, you don't have to. Here's how to rename them all at once:

1. Open the folder where the photos are stored.
2. Select View | Thumbnails so you can see where the wedding pictures end and the photos of Aunt Susie's cat begin.
3. Select the first wedding picture, then hold down the Shift key and click the last wedding picture to also select all those in between.
4. Right click the first selected photo and select Rename.
5. Give the group a name, such as Wedding - Jane and Bob.
6. XP will add a number to subsequent photos so that they're named "Wedding - Jane and Bob_1," etc.

Don't click that tiny URL unless you know and trust the sender

-WARNING; SECURITY:
Tiny URL (http://tinyurl.com) is a convenient tool for trimming those long, long web addresses down to size when you want to send them to others. This is helpful because often if you paste a super-sized address into an email message, it wraps around and only part of it becomes a hyperlink, so that the recipient can't click on it and go to the site.

However, some spammers and malware disseminators are (mis)using Tiny URL to disguise their spam sites and phishing sites, so it's important not to click on a link with the tinyurl.com domain unless you know and trust the sender.
