What would be the easiest way rename many files?

My mom is changing photo-lab and this new lab requires for all her files (photos) to be numbered in a certain way.
Example
old name: DSCF0014:jpg
New way: 07010014.jpg (where 07 is the year 01 is the project # and 0014 is the actual picture#)
I could do it in photoshop with automate... but then I have to erase the old files.
Any other option?

Well, there are many batch file renaming softwares. Try googling something like 'photo file renaming software' and you should get lots of results. You might want to add 'free' to the search string. An example (not freeware):

freeware...and it works great.
[edit: on second thought...it might just search & replace text inside of files...not rename the files themselves. But check on their site...they've got other stuff too.]
