I\'d like to batch rename files in a folder, prefixing the folder\'s name into the new names. i.e. files in C:\\house chores\\
will all be renamed house chore
Free Software 'Bulk Rename Utility' also works well (and is powerful for advanced tasks also). Download and installation takes a minute.
See screenshots and tutorial on original website.
