Even two-stage renaming does not always work. Having found that the folder had 
reverted to "DataPeerfect" (double e) even after I renamed it to "DataPerfect" (single 
e), I exited Mozilla and looked at the on-disk files and found "DataPerfect" and 
"DataPerfect.msf" (both single e). I restarted Mozilla, renamed the folder to "xxxx" 
(intending to rename to "DataPerfect" later), exited Mozilla, found that the on-disk 
files are called "xxxx" and "xxxx.msf", restarted Mozilla and foudn that the folder is 
still named "DataPeerfect" !!!!!

Why????
