I tried it myself... But... not like you described...

I right-clicked on the desktop -> "New" -> "Text document" -> changed 
default file name from "new textdocument.txt" to ".cvsignore" -> "Rename 
- Error: You must type a filename"....

Now I just tried like you described... Seems to work. Just another 
incosistency in the MS Win XP operating system.... Thanks.
