I made a folder for photos (which I already named) on my macbook pro's Leopard desktop, and now I want to change its name. I know that in Windows XP you highlight the folder, R-click folder and select "rename".

But I guess you can't do this on a mac, can you?

This is my first mac. I never used a mac before.

Highlight it and then press enter (or Return), type in your new name and press enter again.
