Create a date and time stamped folder from cmd prompt
ok so you need to create a directory based on the current time and date, a timestamp if you will.
its easy, type this into your cmd window:
mkdir %date:~-4,4%%date:~-7,2%%date:~0,2%-%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%
this will give you a directory named like YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS
Enjoy.

Just so you know this also depends on your locale settings,
I tried to run this without any changes and got this
“200910We-151909″
the actual date string is
“Wed 06/10/2009″
so I did a little re-configuring of the string modifications
ECHO %date:~-4,4%%date:~7,2%%date:~4,2%-%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%
