Here's a quicky
choose folder
set ff to the result
tell application "Finder"
set listoffiles to every item of ff --FF is the folder
repeat with x from 1 to count of listoffiles
copy name of item x of listoffiles to Nname
set z to text 6 thru (length of Nname) of Nname
copy z as string to name of item x of listoffiles
end repeat
end tell
beep 3
