renaming multiple files but with only replacing characters

i have a very big folder which contains subfolders and i want to rename
all files and folders with subfolders and the files thay contain but i
want to do this by replacing only some characters with others..

any way to do this?

batch file.. or what?

"by replacing only some characters with others" can only be done
one-at-a-time. You can bulk (multi) rename files which XP will give
a numeric value (i.e. Filename(1), Filename(2), etc.) , but that doesn't
sound like what you want to do.

I don't know how to manually do this, but if you Google for batch
rename tool or something similar I'm sure there are many freeware
utilities out there.
