This doesn't work on XP SP2. Needed to do this on an offline work PC today.
In 95-XP, you only had to right click the control box (picture of a folder in the upper-left corner). Microsoft thought they were clever by keeping the left-click functionality even though it was invisible in Vista+, but they forgot the right-click and drag'n'drop functions. Idiots!...In a folder with lots of files, it can also be difficult to find a safe place to right-click and get a context menu for the folder instead of one for a particular file.
One thing I still HATE about Explorer:
You often can't scroll the location list on the left side without first clicking in it. @#$%$#!!!!

I so hate that too. Just make the Mouse Focus the active frame!
No youse guys got it all wrong, it's not proggy.

Didn't know it, but I don't normally rename adjacent files. Instead of F2 you can left click on a highlighted file in Explorer and Windows will offer it for renaming (or copying the name to the clipboard, something I like to do).I had no idea you could do this. And I also have no idea what I would use it for...I never name files identically with a series # at the end.
