Where is a file rename utility that will remove register sign trademark hyphens etc. from a big list of files?
I tried to copy the contents from my "favorites" folder to a Flash Drive and could not do it because the file system did not support charectors like trademark sign, hyphens, copyright sign etc. Then I tried to just zip up the contents of the folder the "favorite" liinks were in and ran into the same problem because Windows 7 zip did not support files that have these charectors in them. The trouble is the list of "favorite" links is so massive it would take forever to do this manually so I need some kind of utility that will quickly and easily remove all the offending charectors from the names so I can store them on a Flash Drive or zip up the contents of the folder they are in. Please help.

If it's the Favorites folder and not the Bookmarks created by other browsers, you can open your IE browser and export the Favorites to a file.
Another way is by using Xmarks to save and sync your favorites and bookmarks to an online storage where you can access and download from any computer:
