In Reply to: Windows 7 renaming my dBPoweramp "Folder.jpg" to "Folder" posted by Old SteveA on August 5, 2014 at 08:29:39:
Lose the dot.
The dot is associated with a file name, not a folder name. Windows uses the dot to separate names from the type of file being represented, so it sees this as a file -- not a folder. You can rename it Folder_jpg and Windows wouldn't have a problem with the folder's name.
