Do you often rename files in Windows XP, without changing the file extensions? If so, you probably find it very annoying that the entire file name, including the extension, is automatically highlighted when you press F2 with the file selected in Windows Explorer.
If you have renamed files in Windows 7, you will have noticed that the filename is highlighted but the extension is not. This allows you to more quickly and easily change the filename or copy it.
We found a small, free, portable tool, called TheEnd, that allows you to do something similar in Windows XP. When TheEnd is running, the whole filename is unselected when renaming a file and the cursor is automatically placed at the end of the filename before the dot and the extension.
