title: Rename command removes first character from file name
body: <p>I'm new to batch and I am trying to rename multiple files to the same name but with a number at the front (example Hello --&gt; 1 Hello) However instead of &quot;1 Hello&quot; I get &quot;1 llo&quot;</p>
  <p>So far this is the command I'm using</p>
  <pre><code>    rename &quot;C:\Users\Eef\Desktop\New folder\1\*.txt&quot; &quot;1 *.txt&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>as stated above when run on something like &quot;hello&quot; it returns &quot;1 llo&quot;</p>
  <p>If i instead use,</p>
  <pre><code>    rename &quot;C:\Users\Eef\Desktop\New folder\1\*.txt&quot; &quot;1*.txt&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>It just replaces the first letter with one (&quot;hello --&gt; &quot;1ello&quot;
  I would prefer to keep one line if possible. I just can't find any information about how to do this at all. Can someone show me how this might be possible?</p>
