This method works across disk volumes.

For example, the file c:\MyFile.txt can be moved to d:\public and renamed NewFile.txt.

Whenever possible, avoid using short file names (such as XXXXXX~1.XXX) with this method.

If two files have equivalent short file names then this method may fail and raise an exception and/or result in undesirable behavior.
