batch file renaming

[ludditefreak]

i need to rename over 1000 files. can anyone recommend a free batch file renamer? I have the old names and new names on a sheet, is there anything out there that could rename the files automatically?

That 123renamer one isn't free!

You can use it for a while for free though.

This one is nice and easy to use. I use it frequently at work - completely free and doesn't need installing:
