Code Block
BOOL WINAPI CopyFile(
 __in LPCTSTR lpExistingFileName,
 __in LPCTSTR lpNewFileName, //This should work...
 __in BOOL bFailIfExists
);

I don't know the api for renaming a file, but if you copy the file anyway you can specify it's name right there.

It's MoveFile(existingName, newName). Keep the SDK docs handy when you use the Windows API.
