    Rename recovered files

    Hi, I recently ended up accidentally formatting all my disks including backups. I engaged a specialist and retrieved most of the data.

    I now have many thousands of powerpoint, excel and word files named like Found_297934336_13592064.

    I need some help with code to rename my powerpoint files with the presentation Title and similarly with my docx and xlsx files.

    I am a complete newbee in Visual Studio though I have done development in Linux environments using C or Python. Your code is right now my only hope and I am going crazy trying to run it in Visual Studio. I realised that I had not chosen the version with Visual Basic. I am now downloading hopefully the right version and will try again. Is there a simpler way than download 3.54 GB of Visual Studio Express. With my current download speed, it might take for ever.

    Meanwhile, to be sure, I would like to know what development environment, plugins or any other prerequisites are required for running your code. Thanks in advance. I am stuck and badly need help.
