I use one called MultiRen that was a PC Magazine utility. It works as a context menu addon so you hilite the files you want and than run it from the right-click menu. It works pretty well but it can get a little tedious with the wildcards and placeholders to do complex renaming. It's easy to use for changing extentions though.

Frankly, the fastest (on Windows) way to do it is just to go to a command prompt and type:

ren *.pz2 *.cm2

using the format ren [existing extention] [new extention] and hit return and bam you're done.

Download a context menu enhancement to give you a fast way to get to a command prompt for any folder and you're set. Sometimes the old ways are best :-)
