Batch rename items in Data Explorer

[wordmuse]

The only thing I could come up with is to use something like Macro Toolworks and create a macro that deletes the set number of keys in your prefix and then moves to the next item. It would simulate pressing these keys:

Ctrl+1 (to make sure you're in the data explorer)
F2 (to edit the item)
Ctrl+Home (to go to the beginning of the item's text)
Del
Del
...
Del (however many deletes you need to get rid of the prefix)
Enter (to secure the changes)
DownArrow (to move to the next item)

Just tried it on my machine and it works. You might have to fiddle with it, but I'm fairly confident that I'm close.
