What are the exact renaming rules? Apparently you wish to remove "90_" and add "p" to the name. Is this all you need? Any exceptions?vonPryz– vonPryz2013-07-10 09:39:29 +00:00Commented Jul 10, 2013 at 9:39

You can use Get-Child item with recursive option to load all the jpg files and rename it using Rename-item command.
Get-ChildItem -r -path "C:\test" *.jpg | % { if(!$_.PSIsContainer -and $_.Name.Contains('_')) {Rename-item $_.FullName ( $_.BaseName.Split('_')[1] +"p" + $_.Extension) } }

Generate some test files first:
0..4 | % { set-content 90_1220$_.jpg "" }
# Output
90_12200.jpg
90_12201.jpg
90_12202.jpg
90_12203.jpg
90_12204.jpg
Then list the files, pass to foreach and rename. $($_.BaseName.Replace("90_", "")+"p"+$_.Extension) will take the base name, remove 90_, add letter p and file's extension.
gci 90_*.jpg | % { Move-Item $_ $($_.BaseName.Replace("90_", "")+"p"+$_.Extension) }
gci
# Output
12200p.jpg
12201p.jpg
12202p.jpg
12203p.jpg
12204p.jpg
