Does Win have the equiv of rename?

DESCRIPTION

rename will rename the specified files by replacing the first occur-
rence of from in their name by to.

For example, given the files foo1, ..., foo9, foo10, ..., foo278, the
commands

rename foo foo0 foo?
rename foo foo0 foo??

will turn them into foo001, ..., foo009, foo010, ..., foo278.

And
rename .htm .html *.htm

will fix the extension of your html files.
