The name of a subsite is not updated in the top link bar or in the Quick Launch of the top-level Web site in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
You rename a subsite that is located in the top-level Web site of a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site collection. To do this, you change the name of the subsite in the
Title box on the General Settings page. The name of the subsite is changed as expected. However, the following two areas of the top-level Web site still use the old name of the subsite:
- The top link bar
- The Quick Launch on the Home page
Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 does not correctly update the name of a subsite in these areas of a top-level Web site after you change the name of the subsite.
To work around this problem, change the name of the subsite in the top link bar and in the Quick Launch of the top-level Web site. To do this, follow these steps:
- Connect to the top-level Web site.
- Change the name that appears for the subsite in the top link bar. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Site Actions, and then click Site Settings.
- On the Site Settings page, click Top link bar under Look and Feel.
- Click the Edit button next to the name of the subsite.
- On the Edit Link page, type the name of the subsite in the Type the description box, and then click OK.
- Change the name that appears for the subsite in the Quick Launch. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Site Actions, and then click Site Settings.
- On the Site Settings page, click Quick Launch under Look and Feel.
- Click the Edit button next to the name of the subsite.
- On the Edit Link page, type the name of the subsite in the Type the description box, and then click OK.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
For more information about site collections, top-level sites, and subsites in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, see Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Help.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
