  2. Can't rename folder.

    Hi Howard,

    It is possible that the difficulty renaming your folder is due to access/account limitation or a recent change was made on your computer. For better assistance, please answer the following questions:

    • Are you getting an error message when trying to rename the folder?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried?
    • Can you send us a screenshot of the "Public" folders?

    We will be waiting for your response.

    Renaming of Folders

    Thank You; but changing to Lists does not work.

    This is ridiculous - Renaming of Folders and Files should be able to be carried out regardless of Icons or Lists.

    Also; i notice that I cannot Cut and Paste from one Folder to another.

    I do not think this is a Bug - I think it is a Programming Stuff Up.

    Microsoft should have a Proper Fix for this Bad Programming - Users should not have to muck around with a multitude of suggested fixs, including the Registry, which many do not understand.

    I am still seeking Wise Input for this issue.

    Regards
