Control Panel >> Regional and Language Options >> Customize >> Date
and set Short date to yyyy-MM-dd. Then set the time to your desired
format,.

This won't apply to just Notepad, of course, but to all dates and
times in the system.

this is only giving:
hh.mm YYYY-MM-DD (16.32 2009-12-12) and not
YYYY-MM-DD hh.mm (2009-12-12 16.32 ). JohS.

I believe what "Stan Brown" was saying was;

Setting the Date / Time format in :

"Control Panel" > "Regional and Language Options" > "Customize"

to your desired format i.e. in my case to s.date=dd-mm-yy (e.g. 12-12-09)
time=hh:mm tt (e.g. 9:38 am)

will effect the way Windows displays the short date / time across the WHOLE system
INCLUDING the way "Notepad" prints out it's Date/Time stamp.

*NOTE - Notepad is PROGRAMMED to print out the TIME before the DATE e.g. :

9:10 pm 12-12-09

...and cannot be influenced otherwise without reverse-engineering "notepad.exe".

Thanks - then I know it's impossible to that whithout cut and paste in
notepad.

Any tip regards other "Notepad's" which can do: YYYY-MM-DD hh.mm

PS
I would like to use such funktion to be the beginning of the filenames.
Example
"2009-12-12 16.32 documentname"
"2009-12-12 16.34 documentname"
