Renaming a folder
Renaming a Folder
Sometimes you will find the need to rename a folder that will best describe the type of titles that are in it. The simple method for renaming your folder is listed below.
HOW TO RENAME A Title
- Go to the desktop with "Windows key, M" command.
- Press the letter D until you hear Documents" folder and press enter to open it.
- Arrow down to the file or folder you are wanting to rename.
Note, the first three steps are if the file or folder you are wanting to rename is located in this folder. Find the folder where you stored your title and continue with the following steps.
- Press the F2 key.
- Don’t arrow around at this point. Now type in the new name and press enter.
Vwala! You did it!
Remember, you do not want to arrow around in the name box before you type one letter because you will have to erase all the letters that are in there before continuing with the name you want. If you arrow around and then start typing just any where, the new letters are added to the old name right where you left the curser. The best thing to do is just begin typing the new name without arrowing around, the old name is erased and replaced with what you have begun to type as soon as you press one letter.
For example: If I wanted to rename the title "class files" to "home work", I would arrow down to "class files" and press F2 key. Now the computer places me in the edit field where I can type the new name I want of "homework". However, If I started to arrow around to see what is in the field, then the computer thinks that I want to keep the name "class files" and just add "home work: On the other hand, if I just typed the letter H as in the first letter in "home Work", the computer knows that I don't want the name "class files" and gets rid of that name and puts the H in the box instead. Now you can finish typing the name homework. You now can arrow around after typing the new name and read what you've typed. If the name is what you want, then press enter to save the new name and exit out of the rename edit dialog box.
