Anyone good with .bat files?

Hi

Tried posting on another forum but looks like no one is home...

Batch 1
What I am trying to do is store the current date in a temp file (that can be called in another batch later) and wind the current system time back 10 years. i.e. Date = currentdate - 365 * 10 or something like that anyway...

Batch 2
Use the temp file created previously to restore the current date...
Delete temp file

any one know what I need to do, fairly new to bat files...

Using Vista so UAC is turned off for this.

Date format DD/MM/YYYY (Australian)
and time is not in 24 hours time

Have been researching but can't even figure out where to start

Just for users that don't have excel.

Got it working in VBA like a treat just 2 buttons no stopping or starting the services... and works in Vista (finally something does)

If you don't mind me asking, why do you need to do this?

just for a practicle joke, if you set the date back to 99 then the user cannot go into facebook... its pretty funny to watch they will try for a while to fix their internet connection and check everything but the date... I think this makes a few websites not work.
