  I don't usually mess around with XP but I found one that might do it for  
  you...

  There's an oldie in the BFDS archives called...  
    
    DATFIL12.ZIP         9,857  06-14-94    00:00:00  
    
  I just tried it in my wife's old XP SP2, and the bloody thing worked! Most  
  times anything DOS on it fails miserably.  :)  
    
  Also, I have a later version (v2.0) as a text capture that Bat Lang once  
  called a 'one-off bastard' in a netmail to me.  The v1.2 tool only renames a  
  file to the current day+month, using bits of the original filename for other  
  parts.  V2.0 throws in the year as well.  
    
  Let me know if you want the later version and I'll re-post the DEBUG script  
  for it.  
    
  Cheers,  
  Paul.
