Those ideas make it sound like Rube Goldberg was an engineer for
Microsoft.  Use an external machine over a network to rename a local
file.  Perhaps from the Windows machine in question one could ssh into
the Linux box and ftp back to the Windows machine to rename the file.

Grace is a provision for men who are so fallen that they cannot lift
the axe of justice, so corrupt that they cannot change their own
natures, so averse to God that they cannot turn to Him, so blind that
they cannot see Him, so deaf that they cannot hear Him, and so dead
that He Himself must open their graves and lift them into resurrection.
