How to perform vbscript rename folder timestamp?

 

Hi Any,

 

Don’t worry. It is very much easy and help is very common.

 

For renaming a file/folder you need to first check if it is available or not. Then you need to get access over it for renaming. Then you need to get the time stamp for the name. This can be done by date and time functions and creating a string with them and then assigning with the name. Please see the following links for code references.
