    I noticed last night when I right click dragged some files to a folder in the same directory and selected "MOVE", using Window Explorer, the directory did not automatically refresh. Then old file names stayed there until I hit F5.

    Apparently, from this thread, I am not the only one seeing this problem:

    Windows Explorer doesn't refresh.

    Anyone else here seeing this?
