Hi fellow DO'ers,
I have the file v3 of Advanced Rename by Fred and wish to instal it, I have win7 and DO v10 already installed but I am a novice and so I am stuck initially with the batch file that needs to be modified. 
Hopefuly with a bit more info I will be able to instal the rest. 
So please can I have a bit more info on the instalation methods please. 
Thanks
Could you post a link to the rename tool, please?
Sorry, the link is:
First you need to click the file "Install English (or French) Presets". This will add the presets to your rename settings.
Then you can set up different buttons for the tasks you wish to use, following this pattern:
Rename Preset="add leading date"Rename Preset="cleanup"Rename Preset="delete numbers"etc.
It is recommended to create a dedicated tool bar or menu for the various presets.
Paste this into a toolbar in customize mode. It will make a menu containing all buttons.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<button backcol="none" display="both" textcol="none" type="menu">
<label>Fred´s rename presets</label>
<icon1>#newmenu</icon1>
<button backcol="none" display="both" textcol="none">
