    Wrote a quick script.. I'm sure theres a better way to do it.. I haven't tested it so TEST IT BEFORE YOU USE IT

    
<?php

        set_time_limit(0);

	$dh = opendir("./");
	
	while (($files = readdir($dh))) {
		if ($files == ".." || $files == ".") continue;
		
		if (ereg("(.*)\.cur", $files)) {
		
			echo "Renaming $files...<br />" . 
			rename($files, substr($files, 0, -3) . "ani");
			
		} else {
		
			continue;
			
		}
		
	}

?>
    PHP:
    **EDIT** Added no time limit.. if 3000 files might hit 30 seconds.. not sure.
