What desktop are you using? KDE or Gnome?
And what file manager are you using?
Please provide more info when you ask a question. Thanks  |

If Mandriva does that, it's the only OS I know of. Maybe try a right click. |

Yeah, even in Windows and Mac, right-click is the standard for renaming files. |
