Moving lines within a dialog box

by Vince.Rosati Nov 2, 2006 5:35AM PST

Here I am again!

I find that I often have to rename files. When I right-click on the file name, a dialog box opens that has several options for handling files. My problem is that "RENAME" is just under "DELETE."

Many, many times I have clicked DELETE when I wanted to rename. I have not yet (I think) deleted a file unintentionally, but it will happen.

Therefore, is there a way to move DELETE up and away from RENAME?

I use Windows XP Media Center.

Thanks

Vince

Then try the other rename method.

Click of the name of the file, then wait a short bit and click on the name one more time.
