Using the CLI (Command Line Interface), change to the directory
containing the target files. Type (without the quotes) "ren *.* X*.*"
with "X" representing the character you wish to add. For more
information on using the Rename (ren) command, type "ren /?" at the
command prompt.

Bruce, if they do what you suggested, every file on their harddrive will have
the
extra character added. They only want to add it to one specific directory.
They'll need to navigate using the Command Prompt to that directory and
then add the character.

That would be why my post contained the phrase "...change to the
directory containing the target files." ;-}
