can you rename all files in folder at once?

i have a folder with a ton of files named .loaded. How can I rename them so
I can take off the .loaded for all files at the same time?

Thanks guys. This will save me hrs of work.

Re: can you rename all files in folder at once?

If you select all the files in the directory with Ctrl-A and rename one that rename will propagate to all the files; so if you called your chosen file 'My_File', the others would become, say 'My_File(2)', My_File(3) etc. It isn't the most elegant renaming solution in the world but it works. Kind of.

Try at a cmd-prompt:

ren *.loaded *.

Try this from a command prompt, without the brackets.

REN [drive:][path]*.loaded *.[new extension name]

I use flash rename. I believe there is also a free renamer that you
can find to perform the task you need.

Hi,
I didn't see the original message, but could add that I've used Ant Renamer
at http://www.antp.be/software/renamer with some success in the past.

I use Flexible Renamer. I really like it, and I beleive it's still
free.
