I know. I realized that after I posted. I was thinking "suffix" not
"prefix".

I found that your code did not add the text to the beginning of the
original
filename as OP desired

I changed to...........

Sub RenameAll()

Const C_FOLDER_NAME = "C:\Test" '<<<< CHANGE THIS
Const C_WORD_TO_APPEND = "Test" '<<<< CHANGE THIS
Dim FName As String
Dim NewName As String
Dim Pos As Integer
ChDrive C_FOLDER_NAME
ChDir C_FOLDER_NAME
FName = Dir("*.xls") ' Change the *.xls to whatever file spec you need.
Do Until FName = vbNullString
NewName = C_WORD_TO_APPEND & FName
Name FName As NewName
FName = Dir()
Loop

End Sub

OK with you?

Assuming that all files are in the same folder, and that the folder
doesn't
contain files that you don't want to rename, use code like the following:

Sub RenameAll()

Const C_FOLDER_NAME = "C:\Test" '<<<< CHANGE THIS
Const C_WORD_TO_APPEND = "Test" '<<<< CHANGE THIS
Dim FName As String
Dim NewName As String
Dim Pos As Integer
ChDrive C_FOLDER_NAME
ChDir C_FOLDER_NAME
FName = Dir("*.xls") ' Change the *.xls to whatever file spec you need.
Do Until FName = vbNullString
Pos = InStrRev(FName, ".")
NewName = Left(FName, Pos - 1) & C_WORD_TO_APPEND & Mid(FName, Pos)
Name FName As NewName
FName = Dir()
Loop

End Sub
