Photo filename sequencing on Nikon A10 camera

I can't seem to find a setting in the camera, but where is the setting in the CoolPix A10 camera for resetting the photo file names restarting at 0001 each time the card is erased and re-inserted into the camera? My prior Fuji and other cameras all had settings to either reset to 0 or use continuous number for the file names on the SD card. I take photos on the A10 and then drag and drop the jpg files on my computer. Manually renaming the file names on the computer is time consuming since I am taking 50+ photos daily. I also looked in the online PDF manual to no avail on this topic. I am talking about the jpg filenames, not the internal photo numbering scheme.

Thanks.

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride.
We look forward to seeing more posts and samples of your work.

What you want to do is very dangerous. If you don't rename every file you will end up with multiple images with the same filename. Why would you even want this?

Very simple Brent... I run a business. All related photo (jpg) files are stored in WO-specific named computer folders. They are not stored in a single location (which would cause problems by having 2 similar-named jpg files). In other words, for one WO that I do, all jpgs from that WO are stored in a folder for that WO. The next day's photos are for a different WO and therefore would be stored in that WO's folder. I am also storing jpg files from other source, such as drone photos, so having each day's photos start with 0001 (for example) would make my job much easier.
