Yes you can, everything just updates automatically such as shortcuts. If you launch the exe using another program however you might have to change the location.

I'm not familiar with how photoshop works, just how renaming files works on windows. Worst case scenario photoshop doesn't find the renamed file and you have to "point" it to it (eg: C\Program Files\Photoshop7.exe).
