On a computer that runs Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, you have a network share that is hosted on a computer that runs Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008. In this scenario, after you rename, delete, or move the files in the network share, you may see that the original file names are still listed in the network share, although the operation that you performed on the files is successful.

For example, consider the following scenario:

• You have the following network share:
  \\Server\Share.
• You use the following command to move a file:
  Move \\Server\Share\Dir1\file.txt \\Server\Share\Dir2\file.txt
• You use the following command, and you see that the operation is executed successfully:
  Dir \\Server\Share\Dir2
• You use the following command to check the original directory:
  Dir \\Server\Share\Dir1

In this scenario, you may find that the original file.txt file name is still listed in the network share.

Notes

• This problem occurs if the network share is connected by using the Server Message Block (SMB) v2 protocol. The default network share protocol between Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 is SMB v2.
• This problem also occurs if you try to rename, delete, or move the files by using an application that calls the MoveFileEx function.
• This problem no longer occurs after about 10 seconds. This means that after about 10 seconds, the file disappears from the original directory.

When files are made available offline in Windows Vista, you cannot rename files by using different case.

For example, you have a file that is named TEXT.txt and you want to rename it to text.txt. However, you will be denied if the file is made available offline.

Consider the following scenario. You are running a Windows Vista-based computer. On this computer, you use Windows Explorer to rename a folder on a network share or in a redirected folder. In this scenario, the renamed folder disappears in Windows Explorer.

Additionally, the renamed folder reappears after you perform one of the following operations:

• You press F5 to update Windows Explorer.
• You close Windows Explorer, and then you reopen it.

When you use Windows Explorer to rename folders on a Windows Vista-based computer, you may receive the following error message:

The file or folder does not exist

This article introduces a hotfix that contains a design change for Windows Vista. In the release version of Windows Vista, you cannot delete or rename the Offline Files when you work offline. After you apply this hotfix, you can delete or rename the Offline Files when you work offline.

In Windows Vista, after you create a subfolder in a shared folder on a network, you receive the following error message when you try to rename the new subfolder:

The SharedFolderName folder does not exist. The file may have been moved or deleted.

Do you want to create it?

The message incorrectly states that the shared folder does not exist.

When you try to install Windows Vista, you cannot select the Upgrade option that is located in the Install Windows dialog box. Additionally, you receive the following error message in the dialog box:

Upgrade has been disabled

- You must rename or remove <FolderName> before upgrade can continue.

Note: In the error message, <FolderName> represents one of the following folders:

• Windows
• Users
• ProgramData

You create a local fax account on a Windows Vista-based, and then you rename the computer. Then, when you try to start Windows Fax and Scan, the local fax account is inaccessible.
