File Manager Problem Renaming a File with No New Filename

ID: Q69566


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a


SUMMARY

If you leave out a new name when renaming a file from Microsoft Windows version 3.0 File Manager, the renamed file has the same name as the directory it is renamed from. For example, if you rename README.TXT without a new name within the Windows directory, the file's new name is WINDOWS, with no extension.

NOTE: This problem does not occur in later versions of Windows.

Additional query words: 3.00 3.0 3.0a 3.00a win30
