Just select the files you want to rename in the list, sort them descending if that is how you want them to be numbered, then press F2 and use this in the dialog <#001>

You mean the File - Rename Special - Search and Replace... functionality?
On left-click: #123;

Add a button "User Button" to your toolbar, edit it...
Eventually, use an icon for the button (in my case it's a file called "Everything.ico" from my XY Icons folder)

Just in case: to add a button, Right click on the Toolbar(!not a button, toolbar) > select Customise Toolbar > scroll left column down till you find list of User Button # > add one to right column > OK > Right click on this newly added button in toolbar > select Edit > add #123; in On left-click field.
