Space actually selects files... If you open a folder and click on an empty space so that no file is selected, then hitting space will resect the last file that was selected.

ah, hmm, ok. But I dont use that hehe
 
Can I just switch the keys, so that select last file will be on f2 and rename on space?

Sorry, but this might be a stupid question, but where can I download the program, or is it included in xp pro already?

That's a pretty cool app!
 
I don't think you'll want to just switch Space and F2 though... it looks like this program will remap the keys across the entire operating system. I doubt you'll want to reach up to the F2 key every time you need a space in something you are typing!
