Hi Georg,

You can easily change the name of any of the files using Windows API's as well.

Then you'll have to update the references between documents. You can use the FileDescriptor ReplaceReference function for that. 

You can find some sample codes here and there on the net about them. One is here: http://adndevblog.typepad.com/manufacturing/2012/08/replace-the-file-reference-by-inventor-api.html

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
