How can I truncate the START of all file names in a folder by a specified number of characters?
e.g. Remove the first 5 characters of filename from 12345ABC.txt to change it to ABC.txt, and do the same for other files in the folder (23456BCD.txt to BCD.txt, 34567CDE.txt to CDE.txt etc.)
Have used FileRemaner :

Use the "Preview" to check the outcome of the changes before you "Apply"
Thanks for this but I am not allowed to download third-party software to my work PC.
Is there a batch file process I could use?
@echo off & setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion cd YOUR FOLDER for /F "delims=" %%i in ('dir /B /A-D') do ( set _name=%%i ren "%%i" "!_name:~5! )message edited by IVO
