Can't rename a folder in my computer

I cant rename a local drive in my windows 8.1 professional computer.when i try to rename a local drive and giving a name, its accepting but its still showing "local disk".I tried two three times and its showing "local disk" always.The
drive letter is "E".
But in computer management its showing name of the drive which i gave for drive letter E.Whats the problem?
I have windows 8.1 professional, Intel core i-5 processor, 8 gb ram,64 bit operating system

Some programs make references to specific drive letters. If you change a drive letter, these programs might not work correctly
you can do clean boot, and close all open aplication, and try to rename it again, but
some programs might not work correctly
You can't change a drive letter if the drive is either a system partition or a boot partition, maybe there is OS installation there
If you connect to domain, maybe your system administrator blocked it, contact your system administrator

  • Can't rename a folder in Windows 7 - receive error message

    When trying to rename a folder in Windows 7, I get a "Folder In Use" message saying that the folder or a file in it is open in another program.  This is untrue as I don't have any other programs open.  I even rebooted the computer and tried again
    and it gave me the same message.  This has occurred more than once and it's beginning to drive me crazy.  Do you have any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

    Hi,
    Please use the
    Process Explorer to check which process keeps your file in use.
    In addition, you can try to rename the folder in
    Safe Mode to see the result.
    For more reference,

  • Can't Rename a Folder

    Hello...
    We have a folder on just about everyone's workstation that cannot be renamed unless the workstation is loaded in Safe Mode...it always says it is in use by another program and it really isn't...the folder itself is updated or checked for updates via a global
    login script...could it be that because the script is ran on each login that it is still holding on to the folder? If so, anything we can do in the script to let go of the permissions?
    If that's not it, any other suggestions?
    Here is the login script:
    \\DOMAINNAME\Clients\Setup\setup.exe /s DOMAINNAME
    This even happens with workstatiosn that don't even have the app installed that would use this folder.
    Thanks!
    Brian

    More notes...when logging in as local administrator, we CAN do the rename...when logging in with another user ID and WITHOUT the login script, we can't rename it...this may go back to another problem (and forum) post I have with Active Director being a mess...

  • Can we rename the folder !SSL!

    Hello
    Linux causes problems because of the special cases in the help file name. I link the html file to my system using the full path, for example: \Online_Help\ECC\!SSL!\WebHelp\introduction.htm
    If I change the name of the folder !SSL!, will that cause any problems as it's automatically genarated?
    Thanks

    You can rename it to whatever you like in Windows Explorer.
    When you generate an output, make sure you change the destination to the new name in the first page of the wizard.
    To avoid confusion I would create a folder outside the project folders and generate to that. Something like ProjectNameGenerate.

  • Can't rename 'new folder'

    Dear community,
    in Safari (OS X Yosemite) I found a 'feature' that's not logical from my perspective: When I want to save a file (e.g. a PDF), I right-click the link and klick 'Save file under...'. Then a window opens where I can specify the path where I want to store the file. Because I want to save the file in a new folder, I right-click in the file/folder list and choose 'new folder'. The new folder is created now but I can't change it's name. I think this is not correct.
    But when I click on 'new folder' on the left bottom of that windows I can specify a name for that newly created folder. I don't think that these two different behaviors are programmed with intent but by mistake. Am I wrong?
    Thanks for your ideas.

    You are absolutely right

  • How can I rename my iTouch when the computer recognizes it as a digital camera device?

    I just bought a new iTouch and I named it "Jamie's iPod". When I plug it into the computer, it recognizes it as a digital camera portable device as well. But the name of the digital camera device is different from what I named it, even though I never did name it. How do I change it?
    Even if I right-click it and go to properties to try to change the name, it doesn't work. (I use Windows 7.)
    Thanks in advance!

    On the Pc While your iPod Touch is Connected to your computer . You can go to the Decive Manger  > Portable Devices > Apple Ipod . Right Click and Uninstall ( This will not earse nothing) Then Unpulg the cable from your device and  replug it. Pow it chage to Apple Ipod as how the computer should read it. (becuase it looks cooler. and the computer is like you just plug a Apple iPod Portable Device)

  • How can i rename my folder bookmark ? without this option or action ( clic right,...)

    jean

    Here is the easiest way. Right click the bookmark (on the taskbar) then click properties. In the small window that will pop-up, you will see the current name in blue highlight - so change it to whatever short name you want it to be - then save. All done!!

  • How do I get my purchased Itunes, which I can see in my Itunes account library on my computer, downloaded to a folder on my computer so I can use them?

    How do I get my purchased Itunes, which I can see in my Itunes account library, transferred to a folder on my computer so I can use them?

    Hello apple1helpme,
    It sounds like you would like to download your iTunes purchases to your computer rather than streaming them from iTunes in the Cloud.  I recommend downloading your purchases directly to your computer using the Purchases page in the iTunes Store:
    Download previous iTunes Store purchases to an authorized computer
    Click iTunes Store near the top of the iTunes window.
    Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
    In the page that appears, select a category. 
    iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download. If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re viewing by album, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.
    To download all available items, click Download All.
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

    The help menu is correct.

  • Can't see anything in external drive after renaming a folder

    Hi all,
    I can't see anything on my external drive after renaming a folder. I have the drive set up as a Windows drive with access through the volumes folder (I had to transfer  large amount of files from a PC and have it be readable on my MacBook Air); I read a FAQ to set it up a few months ago and it has been working fine since then. I saw the same issue come up with a PC HD on a PC, but the solution was for a PC. I don't see anything else like that in the support community (or if it's there, then I'm not searching for it the right way). There is no partition on the drive and it still shows as having the same amount of data written on the drive as before the accident.
    Many thanks in advance!

    If you upgrade the your router, it would be the firmware that will be upgraded. For more information regarding upgrading the firmware, try this link.
    For your external drive, you might need to map the drive again with a different name.
    Hope this helps.

  • After hard drive crash, how can i copy music from iPhone to music folder on new computer?

    My hard drive crashed which contained all my music and backups of my iphone 4s. is there a way (using iTunes or some other method) to copy the music from my iPhone to the Music folder on another computer (with Windows 7 as the OS)? Thanks!! 

    Thanks for the quick answer! It was not what I wanted to hear, though. But, as long as I regularly sync my iPhone and have one or more backups, I can at least be assured that I won't lose the music that's on my phone.  Correct?  One other thing: when I synced my iPhone to iTunes on another computer, it didn't copy the playlists to iTunes, although the music shows up. Do the playlists get lost?
