Different names to files are called links. Links can be hard or symbolic.
The answer is very operating-system dependent. On UNIX (including linux), you can use:
ln -s oldname newname
Windows XP has GUI to create a shortcut to a file.
I am not sure about symbolic links in Windows. Maybe the related web pages will help.
