   You should be able to make use of the before and after label edit (i.e.   
   get the original name in the before edit and get the new string in the   
   after edit)   
      
   Private Sub ListView1_BeforeLabelEdit(cancel As Integer)   
   old_filename = ListView1.SelectedItem   
   End Sub   
      
   Private Sub ListView1_AfterLabelEdit(cancel As Integer, NewString As String)   
   renamed_filename = NewString   
   End Sub
