>>>The thing I would caution you about is to make sure that the directory is named back when the program terminates. You might also want to include a check for this directory before you try to rename. Its presence may be indicative a a previous instance abnormally terminating. This would require that the directory's real be restored. Of course, changing the name back and forth can be accomplished through use of this function.

The function as originally posted is correct.
