renaming folders

(vista) does anyone know why there are certain folders i can not rename? i
right click and rename is not even an option. no matter what i do i can not
rename it. ugh i want this folder to have a different name help!

Which folder, and what is the location of the folder? Is it a folder that
you created, or one that is part of Windows?

Sigh... try posting your question in a fully qualified manner... had you
identified which folder you are trying to rename in your original post, I
wouldn't have to respond asking "what folders are you trying to rename?"
would I?

Are they protected system folders, by any chance? If so, that's why
you can't rename them.
