cmd.exe

I am using the robocopy command to create a backup system, I have successfully managed to copy the folders, but the date stamp is wrong. The folders are prefixed with the date and time .

The robocopy command is this:

robocopy U:\Data\  X:\Private\Backups\FolderName_%date:/=-%-(%time::=-%) /e

The out of the folder is displayed like this:

FolderName_09-11-2013-(20-24-06.60)

The only thing I want to change is the date, I want to show the month as a string with only the first 3 characters like Oct.

Can someone please guide me. Thanks.

In Vimperator, when I hit Ctrl + i to launch my external editor, a cmd.exe window is also popped open. Is there a way to suppress this window?
