For some reason, I can no longer rename my picture files or folders when I open Explorer in WinXP Home

I've tried to make sure they are not "read only". I'm wondering if downloading free Adope Photoshop Studio 2.0 Starter Edition might have screwed it up. Any ideas why
 
As your memory is ROM=Read Only Memory then files are also Read Only. That's how they're supposed to be. Good luck. {:~)
 
P - thanks, but I fear I wasn't clear in my question

I am wrong to think that I can rename files and folders by opening Explorer, going to File/Rename, and then renaming them? I cannot rename files or folders anymore, and cannot figure out why. File/Rename is 'dimmed' (not available for changing) so it cannot be chosen. If I go to "properties" for a file or folder, the name is 'dimmed' (not available for changing).

e.g. I created a new folder and it was saved as "New Folder." I then went into Explorer to rename "New Folder" to something a bit more useful, and it won't let me. (And I am the "Administrator" for my computer.

Thanks again.
