Hello good and admirable Tek-Tips folks,
For various reasons I have to rename certain files and folders a lot. After renaming, Windows displays the old filename rather than the new name. I have to refresh the folder window to get the new name to appear. Also, sometimes it "forgets" the current state of the file or folder in question, causing odd errors like Windows not being able to locate the file if I click on it, or thinking the file is there when it is in fact not. If I "tickle" it enough it finally gets itself figured out. I think these are all symptoms of the same underlying bug. Also, the behavior seems to kick in only after I've been running for a while. I haven't noticed a pattern on when or why it happens. I've searched Microsoft support and elsewhere, but to no avail. Any links or tips to shed light on this would be much appreciated! (XP Pro)
