CNET Editors' review
What's in a name? A lot of hassle if your computer doesn't recognize it. This program helps to clean up unrecognized files in a snap, and what's more, it's free. The program launches as a small desktop application. You're offered three options: one, to tweak general file settings; two, to rename files on a large scale; or three, to rename files one by one. The interface is plain but easy to use; original folders appear on one side of the screen, and change fields appear on the opposite. The process is quick and virtually painless. Overall, a great program for file renaming.Publisher's Description
From KoBoNet Software Develop Team:
Rename It is a simple utility designed specifically for new computer users who are just starting out. This program allows you to easily rename a file or a file extension. Rename It is not only for the new user, more experienced users can utilize Rename It to rename file extensions that Windows Explorer doesn't support. New version features a Massive Rename which can rename many files or extensions easily. Delete function also is available to both single and massive mode.

"Did the job I needed. Simple, easy, what a relief!"
Version: Rename It 3.05
Pros
This saved me hours of renaming files with dashes in them that my external hard drive could not tolerate. I am so glad I gave this a go and really appreciate all the other users feedback on different products that lead me to try this one.
Cons
Not for my purposes. It's been a breeze.
Summary
Did EXACTLY what I needed it to do in record time compared to me doing this manually. Thank you CNET, thank you KoBoNet!

"works perfectly well"
Version: Rename It 3.05
Pros
I downloaded it in 1 min, set it up in 2, figured immediately how it works and solved my file-renaming prob in a total of 5 mins!
It works perfectly well and it is fast and light.
It allows you to rename the file extension as well (exactly what I needed).
Saved my day!Cons
While setting it up, if you do not choose the advanced settings, it will setup toolbars, change your homepage etc - a bit annoying, but yet understandable.
Summary
I would definitely suggest it, although I haven't tried any similar program to compare.

"Great little program"
Version: Rename It 3.05
Pros
I've always liked this little program. Quick and easy to use.
Cons
Only con I have now it that i cannot get it registered. A month and no response from the author. Program doesn't work until you register it, even though he says it is not.
Summary
Maybe they are on an extended vacation, but sure is not a good way to advertise your program. Not much use if you do not respond to registration emails. And the program is crippled until you get a registration number.

"I guess I'm an idiot. Easy? No--kinda confusing."
Version: Rename It 3.05
Pros
It renames files.
Cons
Not very user friendly. Maybe it's just me.
Summary
Good for anyone who is more than a newbie computer user, I guess.
-
"Awful software"
Version: Rename It 3.05
Pros
None that I could see
Cons
Everything
Summary
Not worth downloading, wast of time
-
"Single file renamer! :D"
Version: Rename It 3.05
Pros
Nothing remarkable.
Cons
This program has many cons but one is really fantastic: You can give specific names to your files only one by one!
Summary
The program's only feature is changing specific group of letters which sould exist in the original names. You can not give new names to your files automaticly. If I want to rename my files one by one, why do I need to use this program? :D
