I need a program that will spellcheck the filename of a file (jpg files if that makes a difference). Sso if this kind of a program exits, could you please post a link or something? Thanks

You can sort of emulate that. From memory:
Open a "command prompt" - Go to Start -> Run and type command, hit enter. Use the cd command to navigate to the folder you want. When there, type dir *.jpg > listing.txt (the italic part can be any filename). Then open up the file in Word or something else with spell check.

I'm writing this on a Mac, which with Mac OS X has spell checking literally everywhere, but even OS X doesn't have it in file names. As far as I know there's no OS out there that provides it, nor any sort of plugin either. The reason, I guess, is that most file names are not meant to be spelled correctly. WordsStuckTogether (like_this_too) makes it harder, and besides a spell checker takes a fair chunk of memory to run - it would steal too many resources from the in places already laggy folder display. Also imagine if someone used it to rename system files - from "user32.exe" to "system program" or something. Things would break all over the place.

Hell, just imagine if you opened system32 with it, you'd get hundreds of warnings about the spelling. Crazy names like gdi32.dll and suflnbk.exe because M$ refuses to go past 8 letter filenames.

okay, I will try what you said Jesper. Its just that I have 2000+ files that need to be spell checked and I dont feel like going through each one. And yes I agree with the system32 stuff, but I need it just for one folder. So thanks again
