there are loads of programs to do this, I'm sure there's a dos way to do it. Anyhew, I use http://www.snapfiles.com/get/flexrenamer.html for most of that. Pretty easy to use too.

one good program to use it windows xp

select all the files, then right click on the top one and give it a new name, and they will all be given the same name with rising numbers at the end

you could also use something like (pseudocode needs debugging )
[php] x=1
dir /o/b> list
for /F "delims=*" %%a in (list) do call :name "%%a"
goto end

:name
set /A X=%X%+1
rename %1 %~n1_%X%.%~x1
goto end

:end[/php]

I use it at least 3 times a week. Brilliant freeware app, and incredibly powerful.

You can pad the numbers too, e.g. 001,002,003 etc. (XP doesn't do this, afaik)
