I have very many .jpeg files on my computer in nested directories. I need
to rename all these files to .jpg

I have found I can open a command window and use RENAME *.JPEG *.JPG to
rename all the files in one directory, but with hundreds of directories,
this is not practicle. Is there a way to make the RENAME command look in
all directories?

Thx.

Third-party tools like RName-it
(http://www.freewarenet.com/downloads/genutils/rnameit.html) may be
able to do this.
