Windows Explorer, Renaming Folders in the Folder Pane

Is there any way to rename a folder in the left folder pane without
having to right-click it?

Previous versions of Windows came with a Windows Explorer where you
could just click the folder name twice (with a short pause between the
two clicks so they wouldn't be interpreted as a double-click) and
Explorer would make the folder name writable, allowing you to change
its name. I always thought this was much easier than right-clicking the
folder just to choose the "Rename" option from the context menu.

It does still work the old way in the Vista Explorer but only in the
file/folder pane.

TIA, Benjamin
