Like a GOOD little speller, I mispelled Reservoir with Resevoir. I have done it MANY times! Good thing I was smart!

I have hundred's of files that are "mispelled". Is there a way I can do a massive replacement of files to Reservoir!?

I did a search for Resevoir and I have folders with different names, but the word Resevoir in them, as well as files with the corresponding names.

Is there any way to massively change that PART of the folder name and or the file name!?
I don't want to rename EVERYTHING to Reservoir, just a part. Like Local_Reservoir_Party_10_10_10.JPG OR SOMETHING :)

Thank you.

If they were all in one folder, you could use this:

REN *resevoir*.* *reservoir*.*

But mostly, it's like earlier stated.. Click the name, wait, click again to highlight the name for a rename, click just before the "v", type "r", click the next name, wait.. etc.
