Here we are again!. Following requests from users I will include "tricks" or actions that can be performed with the operating system, so they will be compiling a series of actions that allow the use of the system adequately.

In this trick we will first see how the change of name for a file or folder on the Windows XP operating system.

The first step will be to select or mark the file or folder to which you want to change the name, for doing this is to simply place your mouse over the object in question and make a click with the left mouse button.

Then there are several ways to change the name, I always recommend the user to choose which one you like best or that it is easier to remember.

Option 1: After selecting the file or folder is to place the mouse pointer on the File menu, which is usually located in the upper left of the window, click on this option displays the menu and appears in an option called Rename.

Option 2: After being selected file or folder, hold your mouse pointer over the object in question and do a click with the right mouse button. In performing this action is presented in a menu screen (this is called contextual menu) and select the option called Rename.

Option 3: After selecting the object in the task pane of the window located on the left side of it, there is a option called Rename a file or folder.

Option 4: After selecting the file or folder, you will notice that the name of it is highlighted in another color, we simply re-click on the text that makes up the name and wait a bit.

Any of the four options above will cause the file or folder name is highlighted and display a box around it, at this point is to type the new name you want to give the order and confirm it either by clicking the Enter key or clicking with the mouse anywhere else.
