Re: Want to dim all screen contents

Ok yeah sorry correction.
f.lux dims everything, but 1. I am not sure that the max dimness it provides will be enough, and 2. it takes 20 seconds to slowly dim to that level. That'll be a lifetime in the middle of the night haha.

Are there any solutions that don't require 3rd-party software?

Check for number of times a file has been accessed

I want to write a batch file that checks if a particular file has been accessed a certain number of times, then deletes it if it has.

Is this attribute even stored by Windows?

Re: Copy text from a website, then rename files with it

Yes. I just copied them from Wikipedia using the method I described.

I want them to look like what I showed above, eg.

The Walking Dead (S02E01) - What Lies Ahead.avi

I'll be doing this many times in the future, so I wanted to know what the correct syntax was for the batch file.
