Change the URL of the SharePoint List - Create 2010 Tasks list

Problem:
Sometimes when we create the sharepoint task list with 2013 Tasks template(171). We may not open that task and it results to error to open webparts maintenence page.

Resolution:
To resolve this, create Task list with 107 template id which is available with sharepoint 2010.
To do that, Open designer and create 2010 workflow and create task list with that workflow. It will create 107 template id task list.
But name of the task list will be created with the name Tasks and prefixed with workflow name.
ex: WorkflowNameTasks
To rename, we can open the list in sharepoint and edit the name. But it will not change the url. Url still refers old name, only display name changed now.
To change URL also, open the sharepoint site in explorer view and choose the list and rename. This completes URL change also.
Change the list internal name with the url in sharepoint by opening the site in explorer view and rename the list.

Hope it helps!!!
