Don't know if this will give you what you need, but it sounds like what
you are asking for.

Using windows picture gallery, copy pics to your new folder. Sort them
as you like, then try method described below from the help files;


Name multiple pictures at once

Using the same word or phrase, you can rename an entire group of
pictures at once. Here's how:

Click to open Windows Photo Gallery.

Hold down the CTRL key, and then click the pictures that you want to rename.

Right-click the pictures, and then click Rename.

In the Info pane, type the new name for that group of pictures in the
name box.

Each picture will be given the new name with a different sequential
number, like this:

Summer vacation 2005 (1), Summer vacation 2005 (2), Summer vacation 2005
(3), and so on.

I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed.

Wow thank you so much Dave .... that was the quick solution i needed. In xp
you just had to select them now when i do it it renames them the way i want
and doesnt jumble them around .... the solution was holding the control key
while highlighting them. thanks so much!!
