==================
UPDATE 11-Dec-2015:
==================
To create directories in an even faster way through the command line at 10:31, copy/paste the following command:

for %d in (001,002,003,004,005,006,007,008,009,010,011,012,013) do mkdir %d

Change "001", "002" (and so on) to your desired directory name. If you need to create more directories, simply separate them by a comma, like so:

for %d in (001,002,003,004,005,006,007,008,009,010,011,012,013,folderN,folderN+1) do mkdir %d

==================

In this video, I explain how you can rename multiple files or folders by feeding a properly formatted text file into Bulk Rename Utility and letting it do the job for you.

Tools used:
- Notepad++
- Command Prompt (aka cmd or command line interface)
- Bulk Rename Utility

For other non-English languages such as Arabic and some other languages, you must choose UTF-8 encoding for your text file upon saving it so that Bulk Rename Utility can detect the Unicode characters. For Russian and file names with accents, use Unicode encoding (do not choose UTF-8 encoding). EDIT 25-March-2016: For all I know, perhaps all non-English languages required Unicode encoding instead of UTF-8. I'll have to investigate this matter, but it will take a while.

NOTE: If you're wondering where files 001 - 008 disappeared at 21:03, I moved them to folder 001 but didn't show that in the screencast.
