renaming .jpg files

Is there a way to easily rename the .jpg files. My scanner numbers them but if I move some of the files to another folder and my need to renumber them so that I can put them in another folder or it might overwrite other pictures that are there with the same file number.

I of course can do them individually but it can take a lot of time. Can you do this in Elements 5.0 or do I need another software to do it. I would like to put them if physical viewing order them have the program rename them in that order by giving the starting filename number.

thanks
don

I am sure there is another way to do this but this is how I do it for a series of files
Batch Rename in Window XP
OR you can highlight the files and press F2, enter your desired name and it will rename all the files with 'filename ()

In addition to Dani's tip you can Set windows up to star the rename at whatever number you wish.

For example if you want to start at number 547 make your rename "imagename (547).jpg and all following files will increment from that point on.

As far as setting the files in a display order and then renaming them for that order I use a free program called IrfanView. It has a very powerful batch processing utility and it is free.

You can position the files in the order you want and there is a thumbnail view so you can see the images without having to know the images by file name. Once done you can setup the naming convention to fit your need.

Just google IrfanView to check it out.
