Rename a file or folder
- In the Folder List, right-click the file or folder that you want to rename.
If the Folder List is hidden, on the View menu, click Folder List.
- On the shortcut menu, click Rename.
- Type a new name for the file or folder.
Important
- When renaming a file, do not change or omit the file extension. For example, if you rename a file named Index.asp to Index.htm it might render the file as unusable.
- You should always rename a file or folder in a Web site by using this procedure. Microsoft FrontPage automatically repairs any hyperlinks to or from the renamed file (or files in the renamed folder). If you rename a file or folder using Microsoft Windows Explorer, hyperlinks to and from that file (or files in that folder) will not be repaired automatically.
