make a txt file in your route directory (c:) in the txt file type :- rename c:\progra~1\newfol~1 mynewfolder save and rename to .bat rather than .txt run it , it will rename "new folder" to mynewfolder << change this to what u want. ok couple of things to note:- 1: only 8 characters allowed if its longer than 8 then u have to have 6 + ~1 hence program files becomes progra~1 2: spaces do not count hence new folder becomes newfol~1 << space taken out still longer than 8 so 6 characters used and ~1 added to the end. the 8 characters does not seem to count for the new name but im not sure how to get a space in it hence mynewfolder rather than my new folder. must admit r/click and rename in windows is alot easier unless you specifically need this way :).

whoops ok showing my age and the old dos techniques lol. typing this in the batch file also works. rename "c:\program files\new folder" "my new folder" looks clearer plus it gives you your spaces if needed in the new name. erm can you not edit your posts on this forum, cant see an option anywhere ?
