628126 2008-01-07 06:44:00 Hey guys im after a program thatll rename files automatically for me

because i have over 100 files i had backed up on a cd, all i want to do is restore them to my computer and remove the underscores in the names and replace with spaces without spending hours myself doing it

any suggestions?

628127 2008-01-07 07:56:00 Select all the relevant files
Right click and press "Rename"
The very first file name will be open for editing, insert whatever you want
Hit Enter and they should all be renamed the same but with no's added; Eg: Codex, Codex (1), Codex (2)...

All this in Windows Explorer without any other program.

628129 2008-01-07 08:03:00 Beeswax34 is wrong. This will rename all files to have the same name, which I'm pretty sure is not what you want! Look for a file renaming utility that supports character search & replace in the filename (yes, they do exist).

kahawai chaser, your link gives a 404 error.
