Renaming
Files
If the need arises to rename a file, it is a simple process. Simply
right-click the icon in question and choose Rename from the shorcut
menu. This will select the name of the file, at which time you can type
in a new name. An alternate method is to click the icon so that its
selected, then click on the actual name of the icon.
Renaming File
Extensions
Open Windows Explorer via Start -> Programs ->
Windows Explorer.
-
Select
a while which you want to rename.
-
On
the menu bar click Tools -> Folder Options
-
Select
the View Tab
-
Deselect
"Hide file extensions for known file types" box.
-
Click
Apply then OK.
Right
click on the file to be renamed select Rename and rename the extension,
example from .doc to .txt which are document -to- text
extensions.
Once
this is done I recommend hiding the file extensions again, as you don't
want to make a mistake and accidentally rename a file.
