A little late to say this, but next time be more clear, the windows dos scripting language is often called "Batch" and this is a coding site so I was thinking you meant that. Please be more clear.

Hello! 2 ways to do this.
if it is in the same directory (eg. C:\folder )
just say:
rename FILE.EXTENSION NEWNAME.EXTENSION
If it is a different directory i believe it is:
rename C:\DIRECTORY NEWNAME.EXTENSION
Hope this helps!
