Anything simple that can do this?

Just want a quick and dirty rename facility on the W98 context menu -
even something that just added a letter or a number to each filename
in a directory would work.

Found Shelltoys v1.04 on SOS's site...weighs in at 2Mb+ and has more
than I need. Any recommendations?

Regards,

I've been using this useful tool for a long time:
http://www.rjhsoftware.com/download/rjhExt.zip

"rjhExtensions is a simple utility that will add a number of useful
functions to the context menu of Windows Explorer. The utility
consists of the extensions and an organizer that allows you to
control the placement of the extensions:

-Path to clipboard:-
Copies the path of the selected folder or file to the clipboard.

-DOS Prompt:-
Selecting DOS Prompt (Command Prompt in WinNT) opens a DOS window
in the selected directory.

-Shred File(s):-
Overwrites and then deletes the selected file or files. WARNING:
Shredded files cannot be recovered.

-Rename Files:-
The Rename Files extension allows you to quickly and easily rename
multiple files in multiple folders.

-Encrypt File:-
The Encrypt/Decrypt extension allows you to easily encrypt and then
decrypt any file using a modified version of the powerful Blowfish
encryption algorithm.

-Duplicate File(s):-
Creates a copy of the selected file or files in the same directory.
The duplicate files will maintain the properties of the original.

-Copy directory list to file:-
Creates a text file containing the names and, optionally, the details
of all files in the selected directory and, optionally,
subdirectories.

-Print directory list:-
Prints a list of the names and, optionally, the details of all files
in the selected directory and, optionally, subdirectories.

-rjhExtensions Organizer:-
The organizer is a small application that allows you to select which
extensions will appear on the context menu, whether the extension will
be on the main context menu or a submenu and the order in which the
extensions will appear on the menu.

Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP
 
You da ( insert gender here )!

Very nice indeed, thank you.
Found a few problems with this app under W98, it often generated an
internal DLL error which brought Explorer down.
Also, when using a USB memory stick it caused a blue screen when the
stick was removed and a message claiming that files were still open on
the removed drive.
No such problems once the app had been removed.

Have sent the details to the authors.
