Or just check the [E] box before you rename with Search & Replace, as you already knowkwanbis wrote: that said, I can use another program to rename when this happens.

Re: Two suggestions and a bug.
You might be surprised ... 56K of those folder on my system (53K in c:\windows).
Things like the already mentioned music folders ("1988 - ...And Justice For All"), but also applications ("VMWare GSX Server v3.1 Build 9089") and a lot of zip-files that are extracted to a folder ("Dism++10.1.1000.100.zip").
(Not that a lot of people want to rename those ... )
If you have Everything installed on your system, you can see for yourself how many of those folders are on your system.
Search for "folder:." (without the "") and a couple of milliseconds later you get a list.
Folder-extension counter-argument from Windows' own PowerShell:
Code: Select all
PS T:\> dir new* | % { "$_ has extension $($_.Extension) " }
T:\New folder.2 has extension .2
T:\New.Folder.1 has extension .1
T:\new file.2 has extension .2
T:\new.file.1 has extension .1
PS T:\>
As @petermad already suggested: don't remove the [E], Saves a little time too
All makes a bit more sense (to me at least) when you realize that you can multi-rename files and folders together in one go.
