I have encountered a recurring problem when renaming a series of photos in Windows Vista.
I select the photos I want to rename, right click ‘rename’ and type in the name giving the first photo in the series the new name followed by (1), and hit enter. When the window refreshes itself, I find that the first photo in the series which I renamed (1) has become (2), and the last photo in the series has become (1). The order remains the same, but if there are 5 photos in the series, for example, they end up being renamed (2), (3), (4), (5), (1), instead of (1), (2), (3), (4), (5).
Why is this and how do I fix it?
