I have a bunch of photos that have duplicate file names. I want to store
them in the same directory. Is there an auto-renaming function in XP? I
vaguely remember that there was. If not, any other suggestions? It's around
200 files.

Hi,

Some GUI based freeware utilities that are able to do bulk renaming:

CKRename:

1-4a Rename (from the screen shoots it looks like this ones can take
sub-folders as well):
http://www.1-4a.com/rename/


You will find a lot of utils for this here as well:

Irfanview is a good free graphics program that will do batch renaming:
