I have the same problem, and wrote a simple .bat program I use to copy
files and rename at the same time, called COPYON.BAT

copy a:%1.txt c:\cnc\%3\*.%2

To copy a file I type this: COPYON TESTPART AGC WARD

This looks to the A: drive for a file called TESTPART.TXT, the %1 is a
parameter that TESTPART is passed into for the .bat file. Likewise, I
have directories for each customer and %3 passes the proper directory
into the .bat file (WARD in this case), and %2 passes the desired file
extension along.

So it's COPYON [filename] [desired file extension] [destination dir]

I use print numbers for file names and sometimes have more than one
program for a part, so will use .001, .002, etc for file extensions. You
can simplify the bat file if you stick with a single extention and/or
always use one directory.
