R is for Repeat your last action – quickly and easily
F4 repeats your last action. This is really useful for formatting etc in Excel or Word.
R is also for Renaming multiple files
On Windows 7, when renaming files in the Windows Explorer, if you hit the Tab key, it keeps the new name you've given the item and goes to renaming the next item, similar to how it works in Internet browsers. In XP (I don't know about Vista), it just inserted the tab character. If you have to manually rename a lot of files, it can make it go a lot faster
Another way…
Select all the files you want to rename, press F2, or right-click on one of the files and select Rename. All of your file selections will disappear except for one, Type in your new name and click Enter. That's it! One file will be now be named "renametext" and the others will have sequential numbers in the format of "renametext (1)" and "renametext (2)" and so on.
