I have 100 + files that all start with the same four characters that I wish to rename. This would be a two second command line operation in DOS with wildcards, but my file names are 30 - 50 characters long. Only the first four characters are the same in every file name and I want to preserve the remaining characters as they are now. How can I do this in Windows other than manually changing them one by one?
