Resizing Explorer Window While Renaming a File Hangs Computer (132618)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q132618 SYMPTOMS
When you rename a file with a registered extension (for example, a .txt
file) in Windows Explorer or in My Computer, and then you attempt to resize
the Windows Explorer or My Computer window, you receive the following
message:
If you change a filename extension, the file may become unusable.
Are you sure you want to change it?
When you attempt to click the Yes or No button to clear the Rename dialog
box, the dialog box does not clear. The dialog box and the Windows Explorer
or My Computer window have stopped responding.
RESOLUTION
Although the Rename dialog box does not respond to mouse clicks, it does
respond to keystrokes. Therefore, you can clear the Rename dialog box and
return to the Windows Explorer or My Computer window by pressing the Y key
(for the Yes button) or the N key (for the No button).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows 95. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
