paradox6996 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I can't rename folders, it will let me create > rename > edit > then it will still be new folder. I don't get any error msg. I have ownership and I've tried the registry hack. Is there still no way to fix this. I don't care that much, I use linux 98% of the time anyway, but it gets annoying having to switch os's just to create a stupid folder.P.S I hope Microsoft goes bankrupt and directX goes open-sourced. ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 What a pathetically stupid statement.Why? On balance M$ seems to have been a unifying force in increasing the negativity of the world generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I'm not quite clear how you are trying to re-name the folder. What I do is RIGHT click on the folder icon and select rename from the drop down list. The name of the folder is then highlighted ready for you to adjust as you wish.

paradox6996 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 How do you attempt to rename that folder - on Windows Explorer, or in a command prompt?WE: I right click the folder, choose rename, enter what I want it to be called, hit enter, and it is still new folder.What a pathetically stupid statement.No whats stupid is me having to write a thread about how I can't rename folders because a company releases unfinished products.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Are you meaning to say that DirectX is responsible for that rename problem...?If so, what version of DirectX do you have? And on what OS, by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Having renamed the folder as laid out by pops, you need to left click on a blank area of the desktop to make the renaming stick. I don't see what this has to do with direct X or so called unfinished products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see what this has to do with direct X or so called unfinished products.I guess since people are having a hard time understanding I'll make it real clear. NO MATTER WTF I DO IT DOESN'T RENAME THE FOLDER! It doesn't matter because I don't even care anymore.(UNSOLVED) & (CLOSED) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 (CLOSED)Fine. Perhaps if you ever come back here you might:1. Explain the problem with more clarity.2. Be a little more patient - after all it was your lack of clarity that to a large extent prevented a reasonable answer.3. Stop using disguised obscenities.
