Renaming files

I have some files that end with dat. 5 in total.
What I would like to do is make a copy of them so I then have files
called Copy of blahblah.dat

I would like to delete the dat files and rename copys of blahblahs.dat
to blahblah.dat

Do you want to use Windows Explorer?
Did you try dragging them while holding down the control key?
Did you try copy and paste from the Edit menu or context menu?
Did you try rename from the File menu or context menu?

Do you want to use DOS commands?
Did you try the copy, rename, and delete commands?

Alternately, since you want to end up with only one copy of the files
with the original names, why not simply move them once and be done
with it?
