KB 980408 won’t let you rename folders on 64-bit Windows 7 systems
Posted on June 7th, 2010 at 07:48 2 commentsThey did it again.
Microsoft released KB 980408, the “stability and reliability update” for Windows 7 as part of the “Second Tuesday” round of miscellaneous patches.
Many people are reporting that, after installing on 64-bit Win7 systems, they can’t re-name folders.
Apparently there’s a workaround that works, which involves editing the Registry.
Microsoft’s quality control on Second Tuesday patches really sucks. That’s a technical term. Because of this massive screw-up, I’m moving us up to MS-DEFCON 2. See my next post.

Thanks! I couldn’t rename any folders, found your post, uninstalled 980408, and that fixed the problem.
