Renaming folder

I just installed an update for WindowsXP. I made the
mistake of naming the folder Program. My computer keeps
telling me I need to rename a folder because I named it
because it is too close to Program Files. But when I go
to the file, I cannot get a rename function.

How do I rename such a folder?

Thanks for your help?
 
You can try from a command prompt.
Go to Start/Run and enter cmd
Change to the directory where the file resides:
Enter: cd directoryname
Enter: ren oldname newname

For help enter rename/?
