Changing folder name

How do I change the name of folder under the folder list ? I foolishly named
the folder with the name of my domain. Now I cannot name the remote site with
the same name. I need to change the name to something else.

Thanks
 
When I right click a few of the choices are not highlighted and that includes
rename. So, I cannot use that option.
 
Did you do it with FrontPage with your website open.

Create a new site with the name you want to use, and publish the old site to
the new. When you are satisfied (and not before) that the publish was OK,
you can delete the old site (or retain it as a backup).

When choosing names for a site on your PC, do NOT use spaces. full stops or
other punctuation in the folder name (though hyphens and underlines can be
used).

I want to thank all of you for your help. Ron. creating a new site then
publishing the old one to it worked. Thanks again.
