There must be some freeware on this.

Say you want to change all files in a folder from *.xyz to *.abc
extension.

You don't say which of the many operating systems you want it for, but
if it's a Micosoft one, the answer is:

ren *.xyz *.abc

Absolutely free.

I've used this one for years:

http://www.fileol.com/utilities/rname-it-3.1.1.c.html

It says it's for Win95/98/NT (which it worked well in), but I'm still using it on my XP desktop and my Win7 laptop. I've
never used it on a 64-bit system, so I can't vouch for that, but it has worked famously on all the 32-bit systems I've
used from Win95 through Win7.
