If you're using UK format date/time, the following will work. Save it as something like rendate.bat

If you're using other date formats, use "echo %date%" and "echo %time%" to work out which variables to change.

The :~0,2 means start at character 0 for 2 characters.
The %-2 means use the last two characters.

--------------------
if "%1"=="" goto :usage
if not exist "%1" goto :notexist
set d=%date:~0,2%
set m=%date:~3,2%
set y=%date:~-2%
set hh=%time:~0,2%
set mm=%time:~3,2%
rename %1 %1.%m%%d%%y%%hh%%mm%
goto :EOF

:usage
echo Usage: %~n0 ^<filename^>
goto :EOF

:notexist
echo %1 does not exist.
goto :EOF
----------------------
