   Thanks!  Worked great.   
      
   I've changed the batch file a bit to move the ghost files out of the   
   directory I WAS sending these ghost files to, so in CASE I was having to   
   make another ghost file that same day, it wouldn't overwrite the existing   
   file that was named after its "modified" date.   
      
   The problem with that, is that if I make one 3 times, I end up losing one,   
   unless I manually do the renaming. I'm not so lazy that I couldn't, but if   
   there's a way to automate the whole process, that's just a few more   
   moments saved.  ;-)   
      
   How much more trouble would it be to add a timestamp (seconds only) to the   
   end, so it reads 10-18-2018-35.gho, or something like that? It could be   
   the current seconds or the seconds on the file timestamp, whatever is   
   easiest for you.   
      
   Thanks.
