    I am trying to rename a folder.

    When I am doing this, I have closed all the files that were open.

    THe only thing I can think of is that there's still a file in that folder, in that instance of the program, that says .~lock.BLOG1.docx# since I had it open in openoffice. Then, I closed open office. But that file is still there. I opened it in another window and it is not there.

    How come it won't let me rename it? Is this an openoffice problem?
