One of the programs I downloaded called file_renamer seemed to work quite well.
#1 it was FREE, no limitations, just a nag screen at the beginning asking for a couple dollars donation, and even that can be turned off, (but I'll probably send 'em a couple bucks if it keeps working as well as my initial check out did).

It doesn't install anything so to uninstall you just delete the folder it resides in.
I took a folder full of old txt files, selected all the files and told the program to add a DPT to the file starting at character 0 (zero) and immediately there it was. Just for fun I told it to capitalize the first letter of every word just by clicking a radio button which it did quite well.

If I were using this for real I'd have done the capitalization thing before adding the DPT prefix because it also changed that to "Dpt".

The "documentation" (if you can call it that) claims that it can undo any changes but I havn't figured out how yet.

This was checked out on an old computer with Windows ME. I haven't tried XP yet.
