Does anyone know how to 'find and replace' across a hard drive?

I have a database that insists on having the file types in lowercase so I need to change several hundred JPG files to jpg, but there doesn't seem to be a way of doing it with Windows.

Any suggestions how I might accomplish this?

Install, select files, right-click and "edit extension".
not sure I understand why you're bothered ... if the database is just a record - the capitalisation shouldn't affect anything with the file
Question Author
Bizarely, our custom database WILL NOT accept jpg files if the extension is capitalised. LeMarchand's link works, (thank you) but as the extension is the same name as I wish to change, only difference is the capitalisation, I have to change the name to say tmp then change again to (lower case) jpg.

Thankyou both for your input.
