Here is what i want to do. I want to prepend some characters to a batch of files for example say i had files Bob1.abc, Bob2.abc and Bob3.abc and i want to rename them so all have "00_" prepended to the names resulting in 00_Bob1.abc, 00_Bob2.abc and 00_Bob3.abc. So this is what i tryed "ren *.abc 00_*.abc" but that results in the files being named 00_1.abc, 00_2.abc and 00_3.abc. Whats going on. What am i doing wrong. Probably something simple but i cant figure it out for the life of me. please help windows cli gurus.

Thanks
