You can change the name in Windows explorer and change the extension from .qdf-backup to just .qdf. Right click on the name and edit it. Is Windows Explorer set to show the Extensions?

Just don't forget to also move the renamed file from the backup folder into the folder for "live" QDF files, typically \Documents\Quicken
BTW, the process to do that using Quicken would be called
Restore a Backup File
and can be found under the File Menu.
