RENAMING FILES OR FOLDERS
I presume you're aware of at least one of these methods
for renaming a file or folder: first, you can right-click
on a file or folder name and then choose
"Rename" from the context menu that pops up.
Second, you can click twice on the file or folder name
but make sure that the pause between clicks is sufficient
for Windows to recognize that you are clicking twice and
not "double-clicking". This is rather hard to
do. But if you get it right, then an edit box comes up
around the old name, and you can now type in the new
name. An easier way to cause this same thing is to click
once on the old file or folder name, in order to
highlight it, then hit the F2 function key.
