I have about 3000+ HTML files that have FB! extensions. (EX: BW16.HTM.fb!)
I need something to remove the .fb! from ALL 3000+ files, is there anyway I can do this with a few clicks?

At prompt type
cd \Folder_Name
where Folder_Name is the path\name of the folder where your files are stored, then
for %j in (*.fb!) do ren %j %~nj
and you are done.

Actually it's even easier than that! Just type:
ren *.fb! *.
... and that's it!
This is one of the rare occasions where Windows command line is easier to use than Unix shells.

Go to the folder that contains all the other subfolders, and type:
for /r %f in (.) do ren "%f\*.fb!" *.
