This is going to be a lot of fun, so if one of these is your favorite, please consider writing a mini-review of it and share with us what makes it stand out. I hope to have it completed by the end of May. Thanks!

allen:
I'm looking forward to seeing the results -- that said, I can't help much, you've already got my pick (Oscar's) in there.

zridling:
Like you, Allen, I was surprised how easy Oscar's File Renamer was to use. I used Real-DRAW for several years and that cat was always coding. Moreover, I'm surprised it's freeware.

kimmchii:
the rename function in ExplorerXP is very user friendly.
freeware.

zridling:
Wow, nice file manager kimmchii! I had no idea ExplorerXP was out there. This review will center around file renamers only, but for the person who wants to compose the "Review of File Managers," that is perhaps an essential feature. Thanks, now you've just cost me an hour of my life diving into ExplorerXP.
