Did you say that when you press the F2 key it just says, "edit"? If so,
have you attempted to type in a new name and press Enter? It might be that
it is allowing you to edit the filename, but is not properly echo the new
name as you type. This is still a problem, but a different kind of problem
and has different ways to look for a resolution.

That's actually how I do it with XP. I just hit applications, arrow
up to rename, hit enter, delete the current name and then change it.
But it sounds as if Alan has a much faster way. In any case, perhaps
there's a way to reformat the function to another key, say F3 so that
you can accomplish the same task with the same amount of ease. I have
no clue how to do this, either in Windows or in DOS, so can't help you
there, but it's something to consider.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Problem, F2 Key does not work
Dear Friends,
If I ever wanted to change the name of a file or folder I have always
just highlighted it, hit my f2 key, and either deleted the current name
,
or backed space the old name out and typed a new one in!
I have always done this!
All of a sudden, just now, it does not work!
I only hear "Edit", and cannot even read the name of the file or folder
after I hit f2 on it.
This is so very strange and disconcerting for me, as I use this option a
lot.
I am using XP-Home, JAWS 9.0.519 and I really could use some help.
What Happened?
I must have done something to disable this f2 key.
The strange thing, it does work for example on the icons on my Desk Top,
so it simply cannot just be the key itself.
Can some one please help me figure this out!
Thanks very much!
With Best Regards,
Alan
