AutoHotkey - Find and Replace only some part of multiple Folders in Windows Explorer

Question

I have multiple folders in Windows Explorer which have some part of the name the same and some not. For example:

• FIRST_hello
• FIRST_how_are_you
• FIRST_goodbye

And I would like to change the first part "FIRST" to "SECOND" so the result should look like this:

• SECOND_hello
• SECOND_how_are_you
• SECOND_goodbye

This is a simple example and of course if there were only 3 folders I wouldn't ask it, but sometimes I have up to 30 folders where I need to change only some part.

Any help would be much appreciated.
