Windows 10: renaming folders in Windows 10 file explorer

I have a problem when renaming folders in file explorer in Windows 10. I can change the name of a folder, no problem. But when I do this with an EMPTY folder, the old folder is retained and a new separate folder is created with the new name. This happens even when I create a new folder and give it a name. I end up with the new folder (with the name I gave it) plus a separate folder called "New Folder". I am continually having to delete all these unwanted folders, which is a pain. Does anyone know how to stop it happening?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).

 

How to rename a folder in Windows 10 Windows Explorer?

In Windows Explorer when a New Folder is created it can not be renamed without closing Windows Explorer first. This problem has only appeared in the last month. Before then if a new folder was created it could be renamed at the time of creation. When trying
to download or save a new file this is a problem as I have to stop the download or new file save until the extra steps are taken.
