Rename multiple files in a folder, add a prefix (Windows)

Question

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

Answer 1

This worked for me, first cd in the directory that you would like to change the filenames to and then run the following command:

Get-ChildItem | rename-item -NewName { "house chores-" + $_.Name }
