To bulk edit file names, you can use a batch script. Here is a simple example that can add a prefix to all file names in a specified folder:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

set "folder=C:\Your\Folder\Path"
set "prefix=NewPrefix_"

for %%f in ("%folder%\*") do (
    set "filename=%%~nxf"
    ren "%%f" "!prefix!!filename!"
)

echo Done!

Please note that you need to replace C:\Your\Folder\Path with the directory path where you would like to bulk modify file names, and replace NewPrefix_ with the prefix you want to add before the file names.

Save the above code as a file with the extension .bat, then double click to run it. It will go through all the files in the specified folder and add the specified prefix to the file names.

Please note that this example is just a basic one, feel free to modify and extend it according to your own needs.
