Windows 10: Rename Function in File Manager Greyed Out

I would like to rename a folder under Windows C: Users/ABCD to DEFG

Rename Icon in the Toolbar is greyed out.

Then I highlighted the folder ABCD right click and the rename option is not available on Cut Paste and Delete.....

I would like to know how to activated the Rename Icon in the toolbar, to rename the folder from ABCD to DEFG


Thanks

Check apps and files is greyed out - this setting is managed by your administrator

Hi Lizette

I created a new users profile as per your advise but the issue persist.

Still cannot configure and the systems says ;\"this setting is managed by your admin" Does not make sense.

Any other suggestion is welcome

Thanks

 

File renamer utility?

Is there a good file renamer utility that's safe to use anyone could recommend? I used to use Gizmo's list for app suggestions but this particular application has not been reviewed in several years, so I don't know if those apps are safe to use or not.

I have many files I need to rename but keep the individuality of the names. For instance, I need to rename all files in a particular folder from yyyy.mm.pdf to AMEXyyyy.mm.pdf keeping the yyyy.mm data unique. Another folder has a ton of files that need to be renamed from yyyy.mm.pdf to Visayyyy.mm.pdf.

I had all this figured out a month or so back but have already forgotten how I did it using an arcane script in either cmd prompt or powershell, I can't remember which. And now I'm drawing a blank how to do it. Again. smh. So I thought a nice freeware file renamer might help me out.
