Consecutive renaming tip for Windows 7 users

[hanemach_gt]

When you need to rename more files or folders, check one of them, press F2 (or PPM and choose Rename), write its final name and press Tab. This will drive Explorer to renaming of next file in the list. This way, you don't have to check, rename and confirm every renaming. When you finish renaming, just confirm by pressing Enter or clicking elsewhere.

I also has a tip about the rename.

You can using shift to highlight/select many files, click F2, write as xxx (22), then it will rename start from xxx (22), xxx (23), xxx (24)....
Or
You can just write as xxx, and the system will rename as xxx (1), xxx (2), xxx (3)...

Thanks for the tip, I didn't know that one. It's a game changer when you have a big batch of files to rename: F2, type the name, Tab, and you jump straight to the next one.

If you make a mistake, Shift + Tab takes you back to the previous file. And make sure to sort your files in the right order first, since it follows the order they're displayed in.
