Hi Everyone,
Suppose after creating a text file I go to the file option and select Save As. Then upon selecting the Save As option, a batch file executes and populates the File Name box that pops up with a name that was previously chosen in code, skips a space, and adds the current date. For example if I specified the name MyFile as the file name to be automatically generated and today's date is January 1, 2010, the name of the file will be MyFile 010110 after the batch file executes. Is that possible without having to edit the registry key? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hmm. Idk exactly what you wanna do. You can't fill in a box using batch.
If you would redirect any text to a file (using your batch code) you could simply append the date to a predefined file name. The variable %date% contains the current date. How to assemble the string 010110 depends on the formatting of %date%.
