You forgot to mention that's in Windows Explorer ;-)
Works well, have used it a lot.

Here is one way, which I like.
Rename a series of files
1. Select the files you want to rename.
2. Right click the *first* file and click Rename.
3. Type the new name, and then press ENTER.
All of the files in the series will be named in sequence
using the new name you type. For example, if you type
Summer Vacation 2005 (1).jpg , the other files in the
series will be named Summer Vacation 2005 (2).jpg , Summer
Vacation 2005 (3).jpg , and so on.
Notes
? To select consecutive files or folders, click the first
item, press and hold down SHIFT, and then click the last
item. To select nonconsecutive files or folders, press and
hold down CTRL, and then click each item.
? To specify the starting number for the series, type the
starting number in parenthesis after the new file name. The
files in the series will be numbered in sequence starting
with the number you type. For example, if you type Birthday
(10), the other files will be named Birthday (11), Birthday
(12), and so on.
To select multiple files and folders
Do one of the following:
? To select consecutive files or folders, click the first
item, press and hold down SHIFT, and then click the last
item.
? To select nonconsecutive files or folders, press and hold
down CTRL, and then click each item.
? To select all the files and folders in the window, on the
Edit menu, click Select All.
Notes
? If you have selected all files or folders and then want
to clear the selection, click in a blank area in the folder
window.

HOW TO: Rename Multiple Files in Windows XP with Windows
Explorer http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320167
In news:179A8F91-8BB0-48A4-91C2-AA658446807C@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
PeterJordan <PeterJordan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted
and pecked:
When I take photos, they're all by default named
something like DSC-001, DSC-002, etc. When I copy them
to a folder, I'd like to rename all of the files in the
folder something like July1-pix-001, July1-pix-002, etc.,
so that if I copy a new set of pix into the same folder,
the new DSC-001 doesn't try to overwrite the old DSC-001.
Can I do an automatic partial renaming of every file in
the folder?
