Thanks for you help. This is what I came up with:
using System;
using System.IO;
namespace FileRename
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Class1.
/// </summary>
class Class1
{
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//
// TODO: Add code to start application here
//
try
{
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(@"G:\Pictures\Target");
// Get a reference to each file in that directory.
FileInfo[] fiArr = di.GetFiles("*.jpg");
// Define an Integer Counter
int i = 0;
string path;
// Display the names of the files.
foreach (FileInfo fri in fiArr)
{
//Console.WriteLine(fri.Name);
//Change the prefix to something that is not already there
path = @"G:\Pictures\Target\" + "pic" + i.ToString("D3")+".jpg";
fri.MoveTo(path);
i++;
}
Console.WriteLine("Done");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("The process failed: {0}", e.ToString());
}
}
}
}
This is actually slightly modified from what I ran, but if follows the
guidance I got. I got my pictures sorted and renamed.

I am a novice in C# and need help. I want to write a simple program to
read a bunch of files from a specified directory and rename those files in
a sequential fashion., changing a bunch of image file names.
For example, changing:
a011.jpg
a 011.1.jpg
i234.jpg
to
img001.jpg
img002.jpg
img003.jpg
There are some 600 files, so doing it manually would be a pain. I don't
know my C# or .NET framwork well enough yet to do this by myself quickly.
I think I should be able to do it with a simple console program. I am
hoping somebody could help me.
