Consider the following scenario:

• You have a shared folder that is available offline.
• On a Windows Vista-based computer, in an Office application or in WordPad, you use the Open File dialog box to open an offline file that is in the shared folder.

In this scenario, the shared folder goes offline. After the shared folder goes offline, you cannot make the shared folder go online from Windows Explorer.

When you use WordPad to open a Rich Text Format (RTF) document on a Windows Vista-based computer, the document may be corrupted. Specifically, the text may be damaged or missing. This problem may occur if the following conditions are true:

• You use a right-click operation to create the document. For example, you right-click the desktop or any folder, you click New, and then you click Rich Text Document.
• You are using any one of the following language versions of Windows Vista:
  • Bulgarian
  • Chinese
  • Czech
  • Estonian
  • Hindi
  • Hungarian
  • Latvian
  • Lithuanian
  • Polish
  • Romanian
  • Russian
  • Serbian Latin
  • Slovak
  • Slovenian
  • Thai
  • Turkish
  • Ukrainian
  • Uzbek Cyrillic
  • Uzbek Latin

In Windows Vista, when you view the properties of a WordPad document that was created in Windows XP, some properties may not appear.

This problem occurs if the document was created by right-clicking the desktop, pointing to New, and then clicking WordPad Document. When you do this is Windows XP, the WordPad document uses the .doc file name extension.
