Try to rename a file and edits ok but when I hit return it erases the
edit back to the original name.

What the ______ is going on ???


This might be a system file that is protected. What is the existing
name of the file? What is the path to it?


You have failed to provide the name of the file and the path to it, as I
requested almost 20 hours ago and as others have also requested. Yet
during that time, you have been active in this newsgroup thread. If you
continue another 6 hours without providing sufficient information for
diagnosing your problem, I will mark this thread IGNORE (killfiling it).

I agree, ****can it, not worth a reply.

The filenames have standard characters.

If I click on it and get it highlighted and copy just the name to
notepad I see the same characters.

Anyway, if I click on it to rename and all characters are highlighted
does that not meant the name is OK per Windows ?

I also used the right-click menu Rename with same results.


I'm thinking right now, this will remain a mystery.

It's probably not the original name, or the new name you're trying to
use, but where (and possibly what) the file _is_. Can you please tell
use the full path and filename (e. g. C:\windows\blah.ext)? [I assume
you're using Windows 7 as you're posting here.]

And deservedly so, in my opinion.

Your earlier comment, with which I agreed enthusiastically, gave the
OP a chance to supply the missing information. That the OP chose not
to repair that omission marks him/her/it as not worthy of an
expenditure of anyone else's time. Let him/her/it go to paid
technical support, since he/she/it can't be bothered to work with the
free help that people here offer to those who will meet them half
way.
