Save As - Same file name

Hi, 

I am working in Google Earth and have to save my places individually, however a lot of the files that I have to save has the same names - so I have to manually edit the names every time. Is there anyway in which I can set up my file properties that it gives me the option to keep both files when I am "saving as"? 

 I have about a 100 files to save individually and it is extremely time consuming to add a number or a letter at the end of very file name..

Any help would be appreciated!!

    Hi Joanette,

    We understand you'd like to know if you can save files with the same file names.

    We'd like to inform you that duplicate file names cannot exist in the same folder as the new file will overwrite the first one. You can try saving the new files in a different folder. This is indeed the default design of Windows.

    Feel free to post again if you have other concerns.
