How's this:
It should only give you the option to rename if there IS a conflict. i.e.:
You do a "save as" or whatever,
and type in "file.txt".
Then it says: "file.txt exists, would you like to Overwrite the old file,
Rename the old file, Append (?) the old file, or Cancel (and type a new
filename)"

That would seem to me to be the best way to limit choice for new users, if
that is the goal.
