'Rename' box doesn't show up when I rename a file shortcut
So basically (I'll try to be descriptive), I have an Excel file (extension xlsm) on my USB and I right click it, send to --> desktop (create shortcut). I see the shortcut. I right click and attempt to rename it with a different file extension, but the 'Rename' box doesn't show up like I believe it should and the file name changes without the warning. I need to do this for the shortcut I've created, not the file on the USB.
I have 'Hide extensions for known file types' unchecked and 'Display the full path in the title bar' checked, as I believe they should be.
I hope this makes sense and hope someone can help me out here. This has been driving me crazy lately. (Sorry if this is in the wrong section; first post here.)
