Select full file name when renaming on Windows



Does anyone know if it's possible to change a setting so that the full file name is selected when you rename a file in newer versions of Windows? (i.e. to match the behavior in Windows XP).



Currently it doesn't select the extension, so I have to do it manually.



Answer



Well, sure, if you're willing to go third-party.



#IfWinActive, ahk_class CabinetWClass
F2::Send {F2}^a
#IfWinActive


In the AutoHotKey scripting language. If you, for whatever reason, don't want to/can't install autohotkey, give me a shout in the comments and I'll compile a script containing that so it can run on it's own (and should not have any requirements such as .net)
