Batch Rename options

When using Batch Rename, the first item never gets a number. It starts out: Picture.jpg Picture_02.jpg Picture_03.jpg. I want to have Picture.jpg to be Picture_01.jpg.
It would be nice also tobe able to exclude the underscore and use a space instead. Or I want to pad the numbers to go: 001 002

I guess you haven't any placeholders in your template, this is the reason why the duplicate mechanism is applied and duplicate file names are made unique by adding "_##". The duplicate mechanism which can be controled using the "Duplicate..." button is not the right way to go.
What you should do:
Use a placeholder in your Name template, e.g. "Picture ###" instead of just "Picture".

Thanks for the tip, Mr. Helmut. Sorry to post as a request when really it was a user no-know! My apologies. I will try out your advice.
God bless.
