Unable to rename or copy files in Windows 8
Dears,
Suddenly we can't rename files in folder nor copy them to the same partition. We are running windows 8 home. When we copy to the desktop and rename the file it works. We are getting the following error:
" The filename you've specified is either invalid or too long. Specify a different filename"
Any hints?

Means that you started check disk but it found no errors?
If so, you should conduct some quick tests:
-does it happen to work with the built-in administrator?
-does it work in safe mode?
-does it work from the command line?

Can you give us the command you are using to rename or are you doing this using Windows Explorer and then right clicking and renaming? Can you provide a few file names that are problematic or is it all file names?

Can you right click on one and check the permissions and let us see what those are with a screen shot? Thanks.
