I don't know why something as basic as renaming a folder would cause my window to freeze. I can open up a NEW window. . .I can work with anything but that frozen window. The only way to close it is to "CTRL+ALT+DEL" and 'End Task' through the "task manager." Also, the strange thing is that after closing it through 'task manager' when you go back tothe folder - it's renamed! It's a lot of hassle to just rename a folder.
