Answer 1

$path="C:\..."
$files=Get-ChildItem $path -Filter *.gif  
Foreach($obj in $files){
   $pathWithFilename=$path + $obj.Name;
   $newFilename= "file_"+$obj.Name; 

   Rename-Item -Path $pathWithFilename -NewName $name
}

You can use this code blocks in powershell ISE. Example output like this :

Old files :

1232.gif asd.gif

After run code :

file_1232.gif file_asd.gif
