Power Automate for Desktop (PAD) is a great utility that helps you program complex tasks without writing a single line of code. Renaming a few file names is easy in Windows Explorer. But what do you do when you have to rename many files in a specific folder? Or in many subfolders? You can use a tool you already have access to which is Power Automate for Desktop. You have it if you have Office 365 at work. There might be other bulk Rename Utilities available, some are free, some are paid but they either have limitations or they're costly. Other tools are good for if you know programming. With Power Automate for Desktop you can bulk rename files in one go.

You don't need to do any programming, you just need to drag and drop. It's super simple, even our Office Noob gets the job done.
Power Automate for desktop also allows you to rename files based on a logic. For example, you might have a mapping table for renaming files in Excel. With Power Automate, you can use the logic from the Excel file and loop through the rows and rename files in windows explorer based on that.
