[Forum] How to change name of .htaccess file?

[rockabilly]

I am running version 4.1.9 and I would like to change the name of the .htaccess file to .htaccess1
Is there a way that I can do this so the vbullletin script will seek this file to make the script function?
The reason I am doing this is because I have a wordpress script installed in the root domain, and a vbulletin script installed in a subfolder.
I want to move the vbulletin into the root, and the WP into a subfolder. I want to use .htaccess in the root to do a 301 redirect to the relocated WP folder so I do not lose my links, and have the VB script in the root running off of the .htaccess1 file installed in the root.
I am not using the CMS function in VB.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

The simple is no, just place all the rules in one htaccess file, there is no need to use multiple ones in this case.
