Has anyone been able to change that default in Windows 7 so that Rename
includes the extension when hightlighting the file name? More often
than not, that is what I want because I often want to copy the complete
file name for use in text, in a search, or other such purpose without
actually changing the name.
To copy the complete file name, include the "press Ctrl+A" below.
Right-click Rename press Ctrl+A press Ctrl+C
No. While in Rename, Ctrl-A has no effect.
Strange. For me, it works as expected in 7, 8.1, and 10.
Aha! It works for files in folders but not for files on my desktop.
I had to put a file on my otherwise clean desktop to see for myself, but
you're right, on Win 7 anyway. I didn't try the others but I assume they
all work the same. Good catch.
