Windows 10: copy file with new name in command prompt

Hi all, This is a bit of an unusual question. I use a radio automation program called Zara, and am trying to get it to load certain sweeper files automatically. The files where these are stored have a ZSL extension. I have them stored currently in my music folder in a Zara folder. So, the path would be C:\users\username\Music\Zara\Music\Sweep1.zls, and I'd like to copy it to C:\users\username\Music\Zara\Live.zls. How do I do this? Thanks, Bob

:)

 

command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?

 

Installation media boots to command prompt

I've just booted from known working install media to see exactly what it does when booting. The sequence of events is...

1. Windows logo on a black screen
2. circling dots appear beneath the logo
3. light blue 'Please wait' screen with circling dots
4. a command prompt window (very briefly)
5. the initial Setup page appears

Do you see steps 1-3? If so, it appears you have stopped at step 4, suggesting that something on the disc cannot be read.

Does the disc boot properly in another machine? If so, try cleaning the laptop's drive lens then try booting from the disc again.

If not, make new install media with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, either as a bootable USB, on an ISO that you can burn to another disc. At Step 8 in Option One of this tutorial you can choose between making a USB or an ISO.

Copying down file folders with names and growing dates

Hi Ryan,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



To create multiple folders of same name with progressive dates, I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works for you.

• Open File Explorer and navigate to the location where you want the folders to be created.
  
• On the address bar, where the folder path is displayed, erase the folder path and type
  CMD to open a Command Prompt window.
  
• Once the Command Prompt window opens, copy paste the following command and hit Enter:
  
  
  
  for %d in (2019.6.17 Job Progress Pics, 2019.6.18 Job Progress Pics, 2019.6.19 Job Progress Pics, 2019.6.20 Job Progress Pics, etc) do mkdir %d
  
  
  
  
  Note:
  
  Replace ‘etc’ with rest of the dates for the month. (Eg: ‘2019.6.X Job Progress Pics’ where X is the date)
  

• Exit Command Prompt and see if multiple folders are created with the progressive dates on the preferred location.
  

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
