I've just realised a massive flaw in my logic here - MultiRen works through
the context menu! LOL
Glenn, if you still can't rename those annoying files, just boot into DOS
and try using the REN command. e.g.
C:\> REN verylo~1.mp3 shorter.mp3
This would change a file displayed in Win9x as 'verylongfilenameindeed.mp3'
(which gets truncated in DOS) to whatever you specify afterwards on the
command prompt.
