Hmmm...the thread is 46 pages long, so I don't think I'll search it to find out if this problem has been addressed before.
I have a bug in Windows XP Professional that's bloody annoying. When I have an "explorer" window open while doing certain file operations (none in particular have been identified which cause this...just copying, deleting, etc), my directory tree gets all screwed up. Nicely illustrated in this screen cap of the offending segment of the explorer window:
It's occurred on both of my recent Win XP computers. Any thoughts? Aside from the multitude of "Desktops," it also occasionally runs into a problem where explorer loses track of sub-directories, and misplaces the little "PLUS" for expanding a directory tree (i.e., there isn't a (+) where there should be one).
Damn frustrating. The only solution is to close explorer and re-open. Departmental tech support is useless. Can't find anything online under Win XP bugs. Help! (Switching to Linux is not an option, but thanks anyhow!)
