There are indeed batch files for it, but given the nature of files, it's very hard to make a batch file for it.
All users save files in a different way.
Generally, if you want to rename files and they are in a fixed place, you can refer to this guide so as to save you the time typing.
Same goes for moving files, that is if you are moving the files to those particular locations.
General syntax for renaming a file:
RENAME [drive:][path]filename1 filename2
So let's say you want this file called whatever.doc to what.doc. Just assume that it's in the root of C drive.
rename C:\whatever.doc what.doc
When renaming a file, you can't change the location of the file.
For moving files, the general syntax is:
MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]filename1[,...] destination
Explanation of usage:
[drive:][path]filename1 - Specifies the location and name of the file
or files you want to move.
destination - Specifies the new location of the file. Destination
can consist of a drive letter and colon, a
directory name, or a combination. If you are moving
only one file, you can also include a filename if
you want to rename the file when you move it.
[drive:][path]dirname1 - Specifies the directory you want to rename.
dirname2 Specifies the new name of the directory.
/Y - Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to
overwrite an existing destination file.
/-Y - Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite
an existing destination file.
So assuming you want to move whatever.doc from C:\ to C:\Windows
move %systemdrive%\whatever.doc %windir%\whatever.doc
