Re: .exe rename problem

are your .exe file extensions showing, or does the filename not have a .exe at the end?

Re: .exe rename problem

yeh thhey have extensions showin eg. ms sets
wen i go to rename it. it sez its bein used by some other program..which cant be the case

reboot your computer. if that doesn't work, it could be a Windows Explorer extension trying to open the file for information when you click it to try renaming it... you can test that by trying to rename it through a command prompt.

You need Gipo moveonboot utility. Do a search on google for it.
