title: How to rename C++ source files in Visual Studio 2003?
body: <p>I have several C++ projects in a few separate solutions in Visual Studio 2003.<br>
  I need to rename several of the directories and source-code files in these projects.<br>
  How do I rename directories and source files such that VS will recognise the new names?</p>
  
  <p>If I change file names in the OS, VS ignores them. It still shows the old file names in the Solution Explorer, and double-clicking those produces an error message (something like "Could not complete the operation").</p>
  
  <p>The Solution Explorer doesn't seem to provide any way to rename files.<br>
  I can select a file and see properties such as what file-system path it points to, but I can't change any of those properties.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not using integrated source control.</p>
