Now I'm more confused. Maybe I'm just having a "thick" day! You can do that 
in XP without using any 3rd party software.

1. Within each folder, drag n drop the pix around until they're in the 
order you want. (If they won't stay where you drop them, you have an OLE 
problem within XP which is not uncommon).

2. Select all.

3. Right click No 1, choose "rename" and type Leg or whatever. (Just 
hitting F2, as I said before, will put the last photo first---a strange 
anomaly in XP)

4. They should then remain in the same order within that folder, with 
sequential names---eg leg, leg(1), leg(2) etc.

Isn't that what you want? You will, of course, have to put all the desired 
pix into one single folder to achieve the desired effect. But I should 
think that would also be necessary with any external software.
