Auto-click "Rename" in EasyRecovery 6

[gerardsweeney]

Hello, all..

This is probably of limited use, but it saved me a great deal of hair-pulling.

Easy Recovery 6 by OnTrack has a slightly annoying feature when recovering files.

If it attempts to recover multiple versions of a file to a location, it'll prompt saying that the file already exists - do you want to skip, rename etc. Each time. With no apparent way of remembering your option.

I cobbled together the following laughably poor script so that it automatically adds _renameX to the file. If the file ends in an a ".abc" type extension, it puts the _renameX before the . so as to not break the filetype.

I have no doubt anyone with even a modicum of AU3 experience will wet themselves at my coding, so please feel free to improve on it. It served my requirements
