Update May 2017
A May 2017 Microsft security update for Windows 10 conflicted with a major routine in FileBoss resulting in FileBoss not starting on some Windows 10 systems.
Versions V3.101 and later, fix the problem. You can read more about this at the page

For instance the meta-variable <today> with be replaced with the current date (in yyyy-mm-dd) format when it is used in renaming a file or as part of a target path when copying files.
All meta-variables must be enclosed in angle brackets (<>) or percent signs (%).
