Rename all the files in a folder - DOS or Windows

[acollins]

Does anyone know how I can rename all the files in one folder, each with different length names? What I want to do is put a "L-" in front of every name. Example:

Daisy.jpg --> L-Daisy.jpg
Lovely.jpg --> L-Lovely.jpg
Flamingo.jpg --> L-Flamingo.jpg

I have tried using the DOS rename (ren) command as follows:

ren *.jpg L-*.jpg

Instead of adding the "L-" to the front of it, it replaces the first 2 characters with it (i.e. L-isy.jpg, etc.).

If anyone knows of a way to accomplish this without manually editing evey file name, I would greatly appreciate them sharing it with me.

Thanks,

Alan

Never mind, I just found a free Windows utility that does exactly what I needed it to do, so I'm all set.
