What kind of a question is this?

Write a VB Script to do it.  :)

Some of us have lives Grak, and thus don't spend every waking moment either talking about or writing script and code.  :x  8O

VB script? It would work, but ew.

If you want files renamed sequentially, that's easy enough...

Code: [Select]
Pseudo code...

varCount = 0
foreach file in directory {
  rename file, "file_"+varCount+".txt"
}

It's either VBScript of JScript unless you want to compile something... which would just be silly.

Before writing any script or code. Answer Will's (m125_boy's) question. You may be able to do it with just MS-DOS copy and wildcards.
