Rename folder command

[polara]

I have a script that creates a hidden folder named "My Documents" on a server if one doesn't exist:

If not exist "\\server\share\%username%\My Documents" (mkdir "\\server\share\%username%\My Documents")&(attrib +h "\\server\share\%username%\My Documents")

I would like to append/change this command to do the following:

• If no folder named "My Documents" or "Documents" exists on the target, then create one named "Documents"
• If a folder named "My Documents" does exist on the target, then rename the folder "My Documents" to "Documents"
• The renaming has to be done without touching the contents of the folder.

The command is part of a Robocopy script I have been using with Win XP that backs up the typical WinXP user data locations to a server. I now have to make it work with Vista. I have rewritten my Robocopy script to capture the new data locations in Vista. Now I am hoping that renaming the target folders will prevent the need to re-backup many gigabytes of user data that has otherwise not changed since it was migrated to a Vista PC. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

To rename a folder use DirMove. If the target path is the same for the source and the destination then I think the folder is renamed rather than a copy made and the original deleted, but this needs to be confirmed!
