Your screenshot shows that you are using Excel 2007. Instead of File, click the big Office button in the upper left corner.
Then select Excel Options at the bottom of the drop-down menu.
Select Advanced in the navigation pane on the left.
Scroll down to the section 'When calculating this workbook'.
Tick the check box 'Use 1904 date system'.
Click OK.

Then select the workbook file in Windows Explorer (aka File Explorer) and press F2.
Type the new name and press Enter.
