This operation is very simple: in order to rename the file (folder), you need to click on the file icon (folder) by right-click and select Rename in the context menu.
Immediately after submitting the command, the signature under the icon is highlighted in blue. If it is a folder, then write the necessary name and click - ENTER.
For the file, repeat the same operations as for the folder, but it requires accuracy. At the moment when the signature under the icon is highlighted in blue, just press any character key - and the signature will be removed and replaced by the symbol.
In Windows XP, you can easily lose the file name extension, you should not lose it. The name of the name should not lead to a file type shift. Drawings should remain drawings, and music is music. Therefore, before you correct something in the file name, press the cursor key on the "Arrow left" or "right arrow" keyboard. This will pay off the name of the name, and you can calmly change the name of the file, not the touch of its expansion.
For Windows 7, the rename operation can be carried out as a regular folder. Since extensions are indicated in a separate column, as in the figure below:
In case of failure, you can cancel the CTRL + Z key combination and try again. Remember Ctrl + Z combination. It is used only in the operating system, but also in most of its applications. This is a very effective technique for the rapid cancellation of the last action.

As additional information:
With document files and programs, you can perform the following operations:
- Creature
- Copy
- Move
- Creating a label
- Opening
- Removal
All the above operations, except first, are performed using the operating system. Creating files does not relate to the functions of the operating system for the simple reason that applications are engaged.
Each program itself knows how to create files with those data with which it is put on to work. It is clear that the music editor has no need to create files with graphic illustrations.
In this article we disassembled the topic how to rename file. And when we talk about operations with files, we mean that these files already exist: they are either stored on our computer, or entered external media: CDs, etc.

During operation in Windows 7, we often have to make integer sequences of actions to achieve one or another result. Part of these sequences we perform daily and do not even suspect that they can not be done at all if you use hot keys. In this article, I will tell about the ten most useful hot keys that will help you speed up access to the usual elements of the system, as well as make daily work with Windows 7 more comfortable.
1. Running programs from the taskbar - Win + 1,2,3,4 ...
Many users are fixed on the taskbar of the most frequently used applications. But not many know that you can run from there directly from the keyboard. If you press the Win key and the sequence number of the label on the taskbar, you can run this application.
2. Switching between programs on the taskbar - Win + T
Using the Win + T key combination, you can switch the cursor on the taskbar between applications. To select the application, it is enough to click on the "Space" or "Enter" key.
3. Collapse all windows except active - Win + Home
With this combination, you can minimize all the windows open on the desktop, leaving only active. This often helps in work, as it eliminates the consistent folding of all open windows.
4. Switching between programs - Alt + ESC
Using the Alt and Esc key combination, you can easily switch between open applications. This combination is an analogue of Alt + Tab with the only difference that switches the applications in the order in which they were open. Also for beautiful spectacular switching between applications, you can use the combination of Win + Tab.
5. System Properties - Win + Pause / Break
If you need to quickly open the properties of the system, then use this keyboard key. You do not need to turn all the windows, open the context menu of my computer and look for the corresponding item there. Just press Win + Pause / Break and the properties of the system will appear in front of you.
6. Folder or File Properties - Alt + Enter
With this keyboard shortcut, you will open the properties of the selected in the explorer or on the desktop file or folder, bypassing the context menu.
7. Contextual File or Folder menu - Shift + F10
If you are a laptop user, then this keyboard shortcut you will be especially useful. Select a file or folder in the explorer and press SHIFT + F10 to open the context menu (called by the right click of the mouse) without moving in the mouse or touchpad.
8. Task Manager - Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC
When you need to forcibly close this or that application, then Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC will be very powerful. Click it to immediately open the "Task Manager", without spending the precious time on the Ctrl + Alt + Del sequence and select the appropriate tool in the menu.
9. Renaming a file or folder in Explorer - F2
Use the F2 button in the explorer to rename the selected file.
10. Transition to search in Explorer - F3
Click on the F3 desktop and the conductor with an active search field will open.
I hope the reduced hotkeys will be useful for you. If you use any other key combinations in your work, then tell us about them in the comments, other readers will surely find out about them.
How does a working day usually begins? With the fact that the work program is launched.
As a rule, it is possible to start it by clicking on the desktop shortcut or on the relevant item in the Start menu. Consider how you can do without a mouse in such cases.
To activate the menu, you need to press the Win key (Start). On different keyboards, this button is called differently. If this button is not found at closer to this button, then you can press Ctrl + Enter or Ctrl + Esc. The effect will be the same - the "Start" menu is activated. Next, using the cursor keys, you can find the desired program and run it by pressing the ENTER key.
The more difficult the program, the more settings, the more difficult the interface. Programmers were invented a fairly effective way to fit a large number of information in one window, as shown in the figure, where part of the dialog box on the properties of the system is depicted. For this application there is even a special keyboard shortcut, so if you press Win + Break right now, you can easily see the window shown in the picture.
To save space tabs are used. These are elements of the interface that are placed, as a rule, at the top of the window. At the same time, only one tab can be active, which is responsible for its specific function. At first glance it seems that for the transition from one tab to another you need a mouse. But there is also keyboard navigation, very effective in this case:
you can navigate through the tabs forward by Ctrl + Tab;
back - Ctrl + Shift + Tab.
It is not by chance that the Tab key is used in these commands.
 |
the main purpose of which is to move the input pointer between the window elements. Input index, commonly referred to as input focus, it is easy to see what is called a non-equipped eye.
Look at the drawing. The topmost element is circled with a dotted line, which tells us that any information entered from the keyboard first gives him, and only then other elements of the application. In this case, if you press the "Space" key, then the picture will change. The selected item will be labeled.
 |
To remove the mark, it is enough to click "Space". To go to the next window element, you need to press TAB. When using many applications, it may be very convenient to use the Enter key instead of TAB. Then this "non-standard" behavior of ENTER is documented. If a group of buttons is activated, you can usually move on them not only with the Tab key, but also the arrow of the cursor move.
In order to better understand the Tab soft functionality, run MS Word. Let's open the font selection dialog. Without mouse. We look at the menu, we understand that the dialog you need is in the "Format" menu, press Alt + M. Now you need to find the desired section of the "Font" menu. Please note that the letter "sh" is underlined. This means that if the menu is already activated, it is enough to start the "Font" dialog.
So, the general team to activate the dialogue we need is as follows: alt + m, sh. Alt + m should be pressed at the same time, then only sh.
Now play with the Tab key. The input focus moves from the element to the item. If suddenly you have slipped the necessary, then go back (i.e., it is possible to navigate through the elements in the opposite direction) using the SHIFT + TAB combination.
When assigning evidence files, it is recommended to give them the most rational names so that they reflect the actual content of the file. This advice is in any book on computer technology. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to do so, so it is often necessary to rename the file. In order not to learn the context menu, you can press the F2 key, then the editing area of \u200b\u200bthe file name is automatically activated.
It is necessary to clean the contents of your catalog regularly in order to free the disk space. DELETE and SHIFT + DELETE are used to delete files. The first command will place the specified file in the basket, so if you can easily restore it; The second command will delete the file without placing it in the basket and without the possibility of restoring its contents, respectively. Therefore, such a team is better not to abuse. You never know, you will need a remote data tomorrow or not. With a basket still a little calmer.
Find a file or folder - the task is quite complex, so a special program has been developed, the quick call of which is carried out by F3.
When viewing the Internet page or when learning the content of the network resource directory, it may happen that the real data has changed somewhat, while on the monitor screen, these changes have not yet been displayed. To update the page, it is convenient to click the F5 key, which is specifically designed.
When working simultaneously with a large number of programs, the Alt + Tab and Alt + Esc key combination is convenient. They are navigating open windows. The first team is in the forward direction, the second is in the opposite. If you need to "drag" data from one program to another, then these two teams should become for you the same "relatives", as the words that are welcomed by loved ones.
Perhaps it is necessary to mention one convenient combination: Win + D or Win + M. Try to simultaneously press these keys.
So, all windows curled, and the desktop cleaned. You can easily "get" to a shortcut, run the desired program or simply find the desired file. This team is very convenient. When working at a computer, a lot of applications are running, and they are all open at the same time. Instead of a continuous click on the "cross" of the system menu, it is much easier to press the win + d.
And one more combination, without which it is difficult to do today - Win + E. Launches Explorer. Network, Internet ... Nowhere without browser!
Let's summarize.
Ctrl + C, Ctrl + x, Ctrl + V, Ctrl + Z - for editing text;
Alt + Tab, Alt + Esc, Win + D or Win + M, Win + E - Navigating open windows;
Alt + lined letter in the menu - quick access to the menu;
F5 - Document Page Updates:
F3 - search for the right file;
F2 - rename file or folder;
Win + E - Quickly launch Internet browser.
All combinations of teams do not describe, but we will consistently acquaint our readers with the hottest keys of the most common programs.
And if you have a wish, what program you would like to read, write.
Here collected a selection windows hot keys. Working using hot keys is sometimes much faster and more convenient than using a mouse. Hot keys (when you know them) give ease also compared to the work of the mouse, like ten finger blind text set compared to the usual one.

Most often, users rename files using the PCM click on the file, and then the item from the context menu "Rename". Not the most convenient option, but there is a place to be. To quickly rename file, I recommend using key F2..
Just highlight the file as usual - with the mouse or navigation "arrows" and press F2. Saves 2 actions at once with.
And what if need rename multiple files quickly?
Group rename files is also better to do with the same button on the keyboard.
Suppose this situation - you threw several photos on the computer, and the camera gives them the names of the type "date_stime" and they have the kind "20130316_192212". Not very memorable name for photos.
All files in a separate folder. Then, in order to rename many files (and in this case - photo):
1) We allocate them all the combination of buttons ctrl+a. (select all);
2) Press F2 (one file will be released on which the cursor was);
3) We write a name, for example, "as I spent the summer" and press ENTER;
4) It should turn out that all files began to have the name: "How I spent the summer (1)", "How I spent the summer (2)", "How I spent the summer (3)", etc.
A little complicated option is when you need to see what to rename, as well as if there are files in the folder that you need to give other names.
Then we make the display of files by sketches.
In windows 7 8 it's top right icon
In Windows XP - Folder Properties - View Tab
Then select the files (you can see how to do in the article) and click F2.
Well, if you want to quickly rename files in the folder, with each given your individual name, then you select the navigation keys (arrows) and download the file, press F2 and rename. It is much more convenient than messing with the mouse.
