ah right done what you said , when you click on the file now you will see
ren "c:\batch.files\hope.txt" o7-2008-.txt so dias thats it
just a silly thought but i thought it was renameing the file to o7-2008-. i said to myself whats the point in that ....................but i see what it means know...........
not quite sure how you would use this, you still have your hope.txt file but also i have a batch file that when you click on it shows you ren "c:\batch.files\hope.txt" o7-2008-.txt
