OT: Need help with renaming files in XP

[Arkcon]

I use an app instead of Windows Explorer called: Explorer XP {company link} It offers some robust renaming options. Or you could try to find some freeware renaming app.

I recently used File Renamer, since it was free, and can be founds at download.com.
It was helpful in renaming all the SE5 planet textures and portraits I made.

I highly recommend the Bulk Rename Utility. A command line version also exists, if you prefer that method.

back when I needed to rename whole ship lists to a new empire name for se4 I searched and downloaded the following program

I haven't used it for ages but I remember it was good. You choose the files and tell it which part to change and to what.

I'll throw in a another vote for ckrename (see fyron's post). I use it on my shipsets. easy to use, plenty of options, lightweight.
