I've finally got an "autoname" version of the folder stuff working
If you create folder in the Documents folder in either drive of the Kindle and add the to the folder a bunch of ebooks and the "auto rename.cmd" file described below, you can just double click the auto rename.cmd file to make all the ebooks appear in a Kindle "folder" with the same name as the folder you created.

The text in auto rename.cmd is:
for %%a in (*.azw, *.prc, *.mobi) do mobi2mobi.exe "%%a" --booktype "257" --title "%CD:~13%" --exthtype updatedtitle --exthdata "%CD:~13%" --author "%%~na" --outfile "%%a"

NOTE: you have to run this from a folder you created inside the Kindle's "Documents" folder. I hard-coded the size of the folder path that precedes the folder's name.
