I often rename multiple photos based off of printouts from thumbnails. My problem is Vista automatically resorts alphabetically as soon as I rename one file. This throws me off both because it moves the photo to a new location and I have to refind the place I was at. Is there any way to keep this from happening and resort alphabetically once I complete all my changes?
