Dear All, I am facing this odd problem where despite having full control over a shared folder I cant change its name both in 'explorer view' and in 'edit properties' . In 'explorer view ' I get 'can not rename, cannot read from source file or disk' In 'edit properties ' I get the following message 'an unexpected error has occurred ' this is quite odd as I can rename other folders on the same location. Any help in this regard will be appreciated. Thanks, Fake Steve Jobs

Hi Fake Steve Jobs, It seems that this problem is happening only for a specific folder. Can you tell us the current Name of the Folder and what is the New Name you are trying to give it. What is the version/edition of SharePoint you are using? What is the Client Operating System you are using?Thanks & Regards, Kamlesh | Blog | Twitter | Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hi Fake Steve Jobs, Can you please double check if there are any Special Characters in the Folder Names (especially sometimes some people try to fool by creating folders with special characteres) I tried using a special character (ALT+255) (use Numeric Keypad to type 255) instead of Space key and got into the same problem with Explorer View.Thanks & Regards, Kamlesh | Blog | Twitter | Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Is there a possibility that some users might be using documents within these folders/subfolders and that's why I cant rename the parent folder?

Hi, I have just do a test by checked out some files in the folder and still can rename the folder. So sounds like the problem is caused by something else. Any other clues ? Thx,
