I can't rename any files or folders in the "My Documents"
folder of Windows Explorer. I have administrator
priveliges. The "rename" option when I right click is not
even available, and under the "file" menu the "rename"
option is grayed out. If I move the file or folder to
another location in Explorer, then I can rename it and
move it back to "My Documents".

Any ideas?
 
Try right clicking on the MY DOCUMENTS folder and then clicking on
Properties....it may be READ ONLY.

HTH
 
READ ONLY attribute is not checked, still can't rename
ANYTHING in this folder, frustrating...
