Refactoring (Rename) in VS2010 screws up WinForms project

I rename variables local to a specific function, or even variables local to a class, but the built in rename refactoring goes and fixes everything project-wide. I renamed a variable called "d" to "deposits" and it changed every occurrence of "d" in the project, and the only way I noticed it was because date formatting was messed up on a form I hadn't even touched. Besides getting Resharper or another refactoring tool, is there a way to fix VS's refactoring? I did not have the refactoring tools give me trouble on a Silverlight project.

Make sure you uncheck the "Search in comments" check box when you use this tool. Sometimes the rename command is a bit overzealous updating the comments.

It is unclear from your description, did your rename command erroneously rename unrelated variables with the same name in other classes?

This is not standard Visual Studio functionality, ensure you have no extensions that could be causing this. Also try to reinstall VS.
