David,
I'm not sure I follow you.
Say the 1st batch file is FIRST.BAT and the 2nd is RenFile.bat
Does FIRST.BAT include:
Set X=0
for %%A IN (*.*) Do Call RenFile %%A
set /a x=x+1
ren "%1" "%~n1%x%%~x1"
Does RenFile.bat include:
ren "%1" "%x%%~n1%~x1"
%~n1 = Name
%~x1 = Extension
BTW, I sent this same post on Sep 18, but I don't see it!?

Create two batch Files
Set X=0
for %%A IN (*.*) Do Call RenFile %%A
and call the second RenFile
set /a x=x+1
ren "%1" "%~n1%x%%~x1"
This will a an incrementing number to the end of the file name for all files
in the folder it's run in.
The %x% substring is the number. To move to the front
ren "%1" "%x%%~n1%~x1"
%~n1 = Name
%~x1 = Extension (it includes the .)
