	Here's a link to a page with all the info you need.
	
	http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/renamers/
	
	Note that one of their recommendations is the freeware Irfanview which I highly
	recommend for this and lots of other graphics viewing/manipulation tasks.
	
	You can bulk rename in all sorts of ways and move the images to a new folder at
	the same time.  The web site contains a page with full instructions on how to
	do it.
