How to rename physical file name

I have a database, which consists of two physical files db1.mdf,
db1_log.ldf, both locating on the same folder. I want to copy both the files
to db2.mdf, db2_log.ldf (in the same folder) and attach as DB2. I know the
commands to attach a database with different name. I want to know, how to
change db1.mdf to db2.mdf
TIA

I prefer RESTORE DATABASE from QA rather than EM. In the QA just before a
running change the names of the files
RESTORE DATABASE MyDatabase FROM DISK='C:\MyDatabase20050206.bak'
WITH RECOVERY,
MOVE MyDatabase_Data' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Data\ChangeItHere.mdf',
MOVE MyDatabase _Log' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Data\ChangeItHere_log.ldf'
