| 1287484 | 2012-07-10 08:34:00 | i discovered a folder of pics that i created a couple of years ago. unfortunately back then I sorted files by putting a ! in front of names, While it worked largely for sorting, I don't any more. Rather then manually renaming them, Is there a program, command etc that is able to remove the ! from the file names? Thanks Daniel |

| 1287486 | 2012-07-10 09:17:00 | I wouldnt get it from there tho. They've probably put their own crap / malware in the install. Like download.com did | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1287489 | 2012-07-10 09:32:00 | Irfaview fileforum.betanews.com has a batch rename option that can do it, but it's a bit clunky and awkward to use. Just be sure not to install the google toolbar if you install irFanview. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1287490 | 2012-07-10 09:49:00 | Take Speedy's advice and get it direct from the software house here: www.sherrodcomputers.com |

| 1287492 | 2012-07-10 11:14:00 | Can probably do it with Powershell with something like foreach ($file in (gci c:\some\folder)) { rename-item ($file.fullname) (($file.name).replace("!","")) } |

Like download.com did Yeah, I went to get something from there yesterday and saw the naff "Cnet Installer". It's bundled with some toolbar so I quit as soon as I saw that crap. |
