VSS: Move file from one folder to another?

Is there a way in Visual SourceSafe to move a file from one directory to another while retaining its history?

Edit
I actually found a round about way to do this. First I drag the file I want to move to the directory I want to move it to, this creates a "Link" to the file there and then I "permanently destroy" the file in its original location.

Does this actually do what I thing it does?

For those of you still suffering SourceSafe, in the File menu, click Move.

I believe the answer is no. VSS sees moving a repository as "branching" the code. So the new repository location is seen as a new version of the code you are moving. That's why the history is saved. Best thing to do is to leave the mis-named repository in place and branch the code under a new name.
