Thanks for this information.

Yet another tip and trick and geek-type trip to the registry, in order to be
able to use the most basic function of the flashiest and user-friendliest OS
that ever graced this planet.

Regards

Not being able to rename a folder isn't a normal bug. It's totally
unacceptable.

I suppose you have 800 programmers and an unlimited budget available
to test your software before you release it?

There's bugs and there's bugs. "Foo.exe may core dump if version
4.2.3 of the freetzel drivers are installed and the backup data option
is chosen" is a bug. "Cannot rename folders" is negligence.

Didn't that bug exist in vista beta? Why did it appear in the
released version?

99% of Vista users can rename folders without having to resort to the
registry.. quit being so dramatic..

So, once again, an MVP blames the user not the software, using
statistics that he cannot prove if his low life depended on it.

Attacking the messenger once again you moron? Why don't you just STFU
seeing as how you don't have Vista and have no idea what is going on.
You're rather stupid aren't you.

So if Microsoft sold 5 Million copies (probably more) of Vista, by your
account 50,000 users would be affected (1%). Sounds like 50,000 people
would be ****ed off. Sounds unacceptable to me! (not to mention those
50,000 users)
