Purpose | |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
Change Windows default name for copied files. Is usually OriginalFileName - Copy.ext | |
Directions | |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
In Windows registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer | |
- Add key : NamingTemplates | |
- Add new String Value : CopyNameTemplate | |
- Add Data for CopyNameTemplate: <New default here> | |
<New default here> Info | |
------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |
- %s refers to the original file name | |
- Examples: %s - Copy | |
- This is the default, what it already is. | |
- %s_copy | |
- This will result in copies to be "OrignalFileName_copy.txt" | |
- Gets rid of those pesky spaces | |
- Duplicate of %s | |
- This will result in copies to be "Duplicate of OrignalFileName.txt" | |
NOTE: Multiple copies of the same file will still result in ()'s and a number. | |
For Example: | |
Copy OriginalFileName.txt | |
Paste = OriginalFileName_copy.txt | |
Paste again = OriginalFileName_copy (2).txt | |
