Consider the following scenario:

• You copy files onto a DVD-R on a Windows Vista-based computer.
• The total size of the copied files is less than 130 megabytes (MB).
• You eject the DVD-R without closing the session.
• You insert the DVD-R into the DVD drive of another computer.

In this scenario, you cannot see or access the copied files on the other computer.

When you use Windows Explorer to view an HD DVD on a Windows Vista-based computer, the icon for the file is displayed correctly. However, you cannot complete the following operations successfully for files that are located on the HD DVD:

• You cannot view the properties of a file.
• You cannot copy a file to another location.
• You cannot delete a file.
• You cannot move a file to another location.

Consider the following scenario:

• In a version of a Microsoft operating system that is earlier than Windows Vista, you create two users, User A and User B.
• You add the two users to the local Administrators group.
• You use the User A account to log on to the computer, and then you create a new folder. For example, you create Folder F. Then, you add files or subfolders to Folder F.
• You grant Read access to Folder F only to the User A account.
• You log off the computer, and then you use the User B account to log on to the computer.
• You upgrade the computer to Windows Vista.
• You use the User A account to log on to the computer.

In this scenario, the User A account no longer has Read access to Folder F.

You drag multiple files onto the shortcut for an executable on a Windows Vista-based computer. In this case, the executable starts, and the list of files that are dragged is passed as a list of command-line parameters. However, the executable does not start in some cases.

On a Windows Vista-based client computer, you can still access offline files even though the file server is removed from the network. Additionally, you cannot delete the offline files and the temporary files in the Offline Files item in Control Panel.

Consider the following scenario:

• On a Windows Vista-based computer, you are using a removable universal serial bus (USB) storage device such as a Secure Digital (SD) card.
• You click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the notification area, and then you click Safely remove Device_name to remove the device.
• You reinsert the device.

In this scenario, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:

There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc. This can happen if you remove the device or disc before all files have been written to it.

When you use a Windows Vista-based computer to try to access files on a Windows Vista-based file server, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:

DriveLetter:\ is not accessible.
Insufficient system resources exist to complete the API.

When you run a program that uses the Offline Files Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Provider on a Windows Vista-based computer, the WMI Provider Host program (Wmiprvse.exe) may stop responding.

Consider the following scenario. You have configured offline file folders on a computer that is running Windows Vista. At the same time that offline files are synchronized, the Windows Vista-based computer switches to suspend mode. Later, you try to synchronize offline files.

In this scenario, the operation to synchronize offline files appears to succeed. For example, the file metadata, such as file size, timestamp, and other metadata is identical. However, the files on the server are corrupted, and the file contents are randomly different.
