Windows GUI, how can you rename a bunch of files consistently?

8,435 Expert 8TB
Oh! This brings to mind something I've wondered about for years.

In the Windows GUI, how can you rename a bunch of files consistently? I mean, say I had a big zip archive split into this set of files...

ABC123.Z01
ABC123.Z02
...
ABC123.ZIP

I then realise I got the name wrong. How would I go about renaming them to

AQC123.Z01
AQC123.Z02
...
AQC123.ZIP

From the command line, of course, it's a perfectly simple REN command. But I've never known how to achieve it from Explorer. (I suppose I really should make this a new thread. But... um... oh yeah! My 5 minutes editing time ran out! ;)).

You are right. It should be a new thread (and so it is).
