Root Rename Clockwork Recoveries?

Is it okay for me to rename Clockwork recoveries on my PC's Windows Explorer? I'd rather the folder names be called the Rom that they are Recoveries of, instead of the date and time that the recovery was done. Is that okay, or will I screw up Clockwork when I go to load a recovery? NOTE: I only want to rename the folder, not files.

Yes, you can rename the Nandroid backups--just stick with letters, numbers, dashes, etc. (i.e., stay away from spaces, special characters, etc.).

Spaces, ampersands, semi-colons, asterisks, question marks, etc. have been know to cause issues.

Cheers!
