When I try to rename a file in Windows 7 by pressing F2, I get the "search" window. If I press F3, still I get the search window...
What is the keyboard shortcut to rename a file in Windows 7?

It should be F2. Make sure you have a file selected. I've noticed that in Windows7 it's a little more tricky to select a file and easier to miss if a file isn't selected.

Are you by chance using a Microsoft keyboard with the specialized function keys? There may be a key to the right of the "F" row that looks like F.
You're right, rename is F2. If the function mode is on, though, the keyboard could be sending a different command.

a reboot fixed the problem, strange have you have experienced this in the RC1? – Magnetic_dud – 2009-09-25T15:48:05.697
