Renaming Files/Folders

11-10-2007

I'm sure this question probably came up a few times, but I can't find any
recent ones. When I try to rename a file or folder I get an error message
saying that the folder does not exist.

I did some self research before coming here and I found this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934160
but it says to find: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Csc
I don't have a 'Csc'

Is there any other way of curing this problem or to add it in somehow?

The first thing to answer - instead of immediately going to the registry
- is where the files/folders are that you are trying to rename. For
instance, you would get that error if you are trying to work with one of
the junction locations instead of the actual location.

I understand what you're saying, but I also get that error message when
trying to rename a folder that i just created on the desktop. It happens with
new and existing files/folders.

Hi MBouchard,

Try using the solution in this tutorial. It may help you in this case to. It will not hurt anything since it is only restoring the normal default settings.

I don't have a problem creating the folder, just renaming it. But I tried
that registry fix anyway but still no luck. Any more ideas?

MBouchard,

You can run the "sfc scannow" (no quotes) command to see if it can fix any system files that may be bad. This tutorial will show you how.

If that does not work, you can do a Repair Install. It will do the trick. This tutorial will show you how to do it.

Repair Install For Vista

I ran the sfc /scannow and it said that it found corrupt files but was unable
to fix them. As far as your "plan b", I'm not home and I won't be for a while
and my Windows Vista disc is at home. The scan did fix renaming existing
files but I still can't rename new folders that I make. What do you suppose I
do now?

MBouchard,

Since the sfc scan found corruption, you should run chkdsk (Check Disk). This will attempt to repair the corruption. You can see how to run chkdsk in this tutorial.

http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67612-checkdisk.html

When chkdsk is finished, run the sfc /scannow command again.

I hope you're not getting annoyed with this problem. I really do appreciate
you helping me. I did the Check Disk and then tried the sfc /scannow again
and still no luck. I got the same message from the scannow saying that it
found corrupted files but was unable to fix it. Check disk found no bad
sectors as well and I still can't rename a folder. What else do you suppose
is causing this? Did something get erased or changed somehow? I never had
this problem with any of my computers in the past that's why I seem so lost
on the issue.

MBouchard,

No, but I bet you are getting annoyed with it by now.

I would recommend doing the Repair Install to fix the problem.
