    What to do with a file saying it was moved or renamed after making a successful one.


    So I made a picture file that says it was moved or renamed. It doesn't show in the picture folder and its icon is just the white paper icon. I made another one with the same name and its thumbnail shows and it's in the Pictures unlike the first one. Should I just remove the file saying it's moved or renamed in the Recent and go on about my day or is there something I have to do to really get rid of it?

    :)

    Windows 11 file moving after renaming

    In previous version of Windows, I would rename a file, and click on the next file, to stay in the same position in the list. However, I've found with Windows 11, when I rename a file, and click on the next file, it follows the renamed file to the new position in the list. This is very annoying when renaming a batch of files.

  3. Renaming or moving files

    No am trying to move or rename a Word or Excel file. It is on my computer. I have rebooted and sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. I rename and move files often so I do not want to have to reboot every time I do so.

    Rename files make cursor position move left instead of to start

    Guess win10 has defeated me in that aspect. Pressing the right arrow key everytime is now an extra step I do not welcome.

    Also before if I pressed left instead of it moving to the front it moved left one space which is no longer the case in Win10.
    Checking on win7 this behavior is present but not sure if or how that behavior for renaming could be migrated to Win10, if it is a feature I would like to turn it off, or some module, I would like to unload it.
