Search for batch or bulk rename or something like that should find something useful

Doesn't Windows have an equivalent of Automator on Mac's?
I know you can do batch file renames with that.

All the file names are different, just have copy on the end of them...

Powershell, below should work -
code:
dir *.jpeg | mi -dest {($_.Basename -replace 'copy','').Trim() + $_.Extension}


Otherwise, http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk

No, they've got to relate to a URL on a website, they're product codes, so need them named properly, unfortunately.
