for %%i in (*.pst) do ren %%i %%~ni-abc.%%~xi (P.S. If you are testing this interactively on the command line, just use a single % instead of %%.)

Sorry about that, here's the corrected version: for %%i in (*.pst) do ren %%i %%~ni-abc%%~xi (My previous version had an extra . which was not required because %%~xi itself contains the dot as part of the extension.)
