I love this program. The free version you can do 10 files at a time, and I quickly bought the unlimited version. I'm glad I looked this up for you, because I see they've brought out a new version. In addition to the caps case, you can "add at beginning" "add at end" "replace at beginning", "replace anywhere" etc - about two dozen choices of things. The thing I do the most often is changing the names of photos from my digital camera. For instance, I'll have a file called:
HPIM0911.JPG through HPIM0950.JPG 
and using Better File Rename, I'll end up with
20050730CheckerShow-911.jpg through 20050730CheckerShow-950.jpg

I have a couple of my genealogy clients I've got using it as well.
