Many thanks for your input, Don. XP's own rename facility is 
something I'd never used (and have to confess I had forgotten about), 
because I need something which will cater to maximum backwards-
compatibility (in other words, no space characters or brackets 
allowed.)

IrfanView worked like a treat, though. I've done batch conversions on 
image files before, but had never even considered using it purely for 
renaming. Problem solved!

Cheers,
