[PowerShell] Renaming All Files in a Folder with a Prefix

on

A very simple bit of code. Use PowerShell CLI. Navigate to the folder within which you want to rename the files (using cd). Then run (setting your prefix to what you want it to be):

$prefix = "PREFIX"; $items=Get-ChildItem; $items | Rename-Item -NewName { $prefix + ($_.Name) };

## Broken down to make it clearer:

$prefix = "PREFIX"
$items=Get-ChildItem
$items | Rename-Item -NewName { $prefix + ($_.Name) }

Nice and easy 😊
