    Trying to rename picture folders


    Had a problem just start on my computer running Windows 7. I go into computer, E: drive, and My Pictures and view my Photos. As I load then onto my computer on to hard drive they are placed in dated folders. I then right click on folders and put a description of what's in folder. A very few times in the past and several times today I high light folder date and arrow key over until the blue high light goes away. I them space and type what I want to call folder. Well it started today and I can get it to rename folders with out this window opening. Find attached the clip. Thanks

    PS I think the pictures are using Windows Photo Gallery.

    I'd just create the new folder then Right Click on the photo then either SEND to or drop and drag it to it.
