Don't know if this is the correct section.

Can someone help me create a batch file that will do the following.

Create a batch file one to rename .dll to .old, the other one to rename .old to .dll

Thank you in advance.

don't need autoit to do this.. althought autoit is a very useful tool.

in your batchfile just do:
rename test.old test.dll1
rename test.dll test.old
rename test.dll1 test.dll

and replace the name of the files with the ones you got.

For simple file renaming tasks, I personally prefer batch files, just like Bi0haZarD

You can also use a vbs script to rename files

Const OverwriteExisting = TRUE
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FSO.MoveFile ("C:\test.old") , ("D:\test.new" ), OverwriteExisting
