Could someone tell me if it is possible and how, to rename an entire folder
of files in a simple manor rather than one at a time as there are 2000+, the
files have all been named with a 4 digit prefix as such "0123 - afile.typ"
including the " - " some hoe i'd like to remove this so i am lft with an
alphabetical list of files instead. many thanks to anyone who can point me
in right direction Paul

Bulk Rename Utility.
But it renames in a pattern, like removes the "0123 - " if that's what

Check out the freeware program called Flexible Renamer. It can be found at:

files in a selected folder or manually select the individual files to
change.
