If you’re renaming a bunch of files in the same folder and those files don’t need completely different names from one another, Windows provides an easier way to rename those files in batch. Start by selecting a bunch of files—you can hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple files at once, or Shift to select a range of files.

• First, prepare a batch of files that you want to rename, maybe photos shot from your smartphone. Open File Explorer and then open the folder with the images destined to be renamed.

Batch File Renamer 2.4 was a GOTD offering back in October 2015. I'm assuming it's unchanged. I DL'd and tried it then and found that it did what it promised on the tin. Unfortunately though . . .
That retail sticker price really hurts its prospects and discourages usage. Not only is it up against multi-purpose freeware capable of meeting basic batch demands, like Irfanview:
http://www.irfanview.com/
it's up against single-purpose freeware, most notably in the form of Kim Jensen's Advanced Renamer:
https://www.advancedrenamer.com/
This beautifully executed offering is a class-act example of how to get things right: an excellent UI; thoughtful and extensive tutorial information:
https://www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/gettingstarted
and a very active user forum, too . . . and all of this put together by a single, independent, developer.
Advanced Renamer, at a cost of $0 forever, represents so inviting a prospect to potential users that commercial developers need to think long and hard about their own proposition.
This is especially the case where today's developer is concerned: AlgoLogic is seriously deluded if it thinks that minimal tutorial information, no user forum, and a recurring 12-month license of $29 is going to appeal to, well, anybody at all -- a situation made even worse by the fact that if in August 2017 this product is the exact same as it was in December 2015, then what possible justification exists for a 12-month rentalware license other than profit gouging??
To be fair, AlgoLogic isn't alone in punting as commercial product that which freeware developers offer for nothing -- or, as in Kim Jensen's case, ask merely for a donation if you like the work they've produced and use it frequently.
Thanks, then, GOTD and thanks, too, to AlgoLogic, but I found no incentive to keep Batch Renamer 2.4 in December 2015 and see no incentive to do so now. The developer needs to understand that if there's nothing wrong with the product, but everything wrong with the price, its future is bleak indeed.
PS: The long-established 'Total Commander' is often cited for comparison purposes in any consideration of batch software. Erroneous information about this commercial program peppered the GOTD comments thread the last time today's software was offered. In hope this won't happen again now, please note that 'Total Commander' has never been free, and is not free now:
