I got it working Hugh thanks, I had to remove the second path.
I don't know why it didn't work the first time.
ren E:\Backups\test.txt test1.txt

Yeah Hugh....that much I know. ;-) LOL.
Strange it works for you. At the command line I get: "The
syntax of the command is incorrect.". Are you on XP? You
don't need any of those "echo" lines in it or @ or nothing
else, just **exactly** as you put it?

You have to save it as a .bat file in order for it to work.
It works perfectly just as it is for me.
If you write it the way you did at the command line, it will
also work,
as long as the path is correct.
The .bat file should show as a DOS Batch file with the special
Batch
file icon.
