Remove non-unicode in folder name

[Ruriko]

I am running windows server 2003 and I need to find a way to mass rename folders that contains non-unicode/chinese characters. Basically I want to remove chinese characters but if I remove it then the folder name won't have a name so I need to replace it with some random 5 digit letter/numbers.

Any solutions?

Sorry if I'm blind but where's the option to remove non-unicode in total commander?

you select all the folders. Than click ctl-M and where it says name put your 5 characters and click the [ c ] at the end of the name. Use 2 or 3 for number in the ctr.
