Batch Rename Files with LeCase:
LeCase is quite easy to use. The program interface consists of some renaming options at the top and an image at the bottom. This image reflects the area where you need to drop the folder containing files you want to rename.
LeCase provide six different options for file renaming. Let’s have a look at them.

- Convert to Upper Case: This option converts all characters in the file name to upper case.
- Remove Read-Only Attributes: This option removes all read-only attributes from the files that prevent users from making any changes to them.
- Favorite Folder: Sort & Lower Case: This option is somehow confusing and honestly I didn’t get what it was doing. I just guessed it was sorting file names in Favorites folder of Internet Explorer and changing their names to lowercase. You can try it at your end and share your responses via comments.
- Print File Listing to File: This option allows you to write all file names (in sequence) in plain or rich-text format.
- Rename and Number Files: This is the main option of this free file renamer. It lets you rename bunch of files with specific naming pattern. That means, you can specify a file name that would be followed by successive numbers started with a fixed value in all files. The pattern generated in this way would be something like ILFS001, ILFS002, ILFS003, etc.
Once you select the desired option, just click on the “Start” button to begin processing the files. After finishing, LeCase will display a “Done” message that will confirm that the files have been renamed successfully.
