Re: renaming the contents of a folder

You welcome. You received some excellent responses with a variety of ways to accomplish what you want. There is almost always more that one way.

That said there was nothing hard or unsafe about the suggestion I gave. Irfanview is a great little tool and it's free. It's a graphics viewer with other features including bulk rename. It's actually easier to do with Irfanview than the other suggestions.

But whatever works for you is what's important.
