Guide # XXXXX

What is the procedure to rename an existing file in vista?

Windows users can rename their files and directories by using one of the below methods. We've listed the below recommendations in what we believe to be the easiest methods of renaming a file.

First recommendation:

  1. Highlight the file or folder you wish to rename.
  2. Right Click the file and click Rename from the menu that appears.

Second recommendation:

  1. Highlight the file or folder you wish to rename.
  2. Click File at the top of the Window and select Rename from the list of available options.

Third recommendation:

  1. Highlight the file or folder you wish to rename by single-clicking the file.
  2. Once highlighted wait a few seconds and click the file again. A box should appear surrounding the file or folder name and you should be able to rename the file.

Note: If you don't wait long enough and click the file or folder to fast it will open the file or folder.

Renaming multiple files or folders at once

  1. Open Explorer.
  2. In Explorer select all the files you wish to rename.
  3. Once the files have been selected press F2 and type the new name for the files. For example, typing "test" will rename the files to test, test(1), test(2), test(3) etc. If you have file extensions shown make sure to also type the name of the file extension you're renaming.

Hiya, I have removed my opening heading on each guide to allow you to copy and paste my answers to word or whatever program you will be using.
I noticed you wanted to print them out from here, but to my knowledge that isnt possible unfortunately. I hope that doesn't discourage you from continuing but you can copy and past this into a word document etc with no problems and print that way.

I hope that method is acceptable to you.

Thanks much, Mike
