Renaming a File

Last Updated: July 7, 2003

Renaming a file in Windows is the same whether it is done from Windows Explore, or from the file list.

  1. RIGHT click on the current file name.
  2. Click on "Rename."
  3. Delete the old name and enter the new name.

NOTE: If you can see the 3 letter extension be sure to NOT change it. If you inadvertently do, you will receive a warning message telling you that the file type will be changed and it may be unusable and ask you if you want to continue. Click on no and redo the steps above.
