Someone probably has a vbScript or a better solution.
But if the files you want to copy are small, but you want the new files to reflect the current time and date, then you could do this.
Code: Select all
ReadFile>C:\Documents and Settings\.....\Desktop\scrpts\a Create Button Group.scp,File
WriteLn>C:\Documents and Settings\.....\Desktop\a Create Button Group.scp,wtf,%File%
I say small because reading in a very large file may take some serious time. And if you don't have enough memory, may freeze or not work.
Between those two lines you could run command.com and change the date and time before writing the file. Then at the end of the script change date and time back. (you'd need to store the current date and time first, ofcourse)

It's some... difficult...
Then I just put date\time in filename.
or...
nircmd.exe >>> Windows\Sys32
Run>nircmd.exe setfiletime "C:\file.scp" "" now

Good program NirCmd. I've used it in the past as well.
