    Perhaps you can put them in a folder, loop through them and rename using PHP.

    Renaming of files can be done easily with C programming. Check out the hire a coder section or better try your luck searching Big G.

    At times I have also wondered about the possibility of doing this. Is there any software that can quickly do this, or is it a matter of programming? I'm honestly surprised Windows 7 doesn't have something like this built in.

    if you are using linux :

    for z in *.jpg ; do $i = $i + 1 | mv "$z" `echo $i`.jpg

    or something similar in bash
