I need a good file renamer utility.
I mainly want to organize by digital photos. I want to be able to rename them in the format:
Date.Taken_counter_description.jpg,
where date taken is in the format yyyy.mm.dd (not yyyy-mm--dd).
Any good ones you know of?

I am using Total Commander...
There's a couple that look quite nice (ReNamer an the one frodo mentionned) judging by the screenshots.
Personally, I've been mostly using a script to do this... Uncommenting certain parts, editing things, etc to do what I need it to at the moment. Mainly for the lack of time to try the 98797867896 different apps out there todo this, and that most of the time, I end up needing it to do something almost none will do (like take #s from in front of the file, and move them at the end, etc).
It takes a couple minutes to copy the script there, and editing it to do what you want, but it sure is a LOT faster (and less error prone) than renaming thousands of files by hand.
I'll be trying those for sure.
