Update May 2017

A May 2017 Microsft security update for Windows 10 conflicted with a major routine in FileBoss resulting in FileBoss not starting on some Windows 10 systems.

Versions V3.101 and later, fix the problem. You can read more about this at the page
Windows Creators Conflict.

The Confirmation Dialog

Note that unlike most rename dialogs FileBoss uses two fields for the filename: one for the main name and one for the extension. This makes it much easier to change part of the main name without having to worry about accidentally changing the extension.

But if you would rather have both together simply set the Confirmation Dialog: Display Extension with Name option that is near the bottom of all the above rename panels
