Framers using Windows 7 operating systems:
My setups: At work: Windows 7 Enterprise SP 1; at home: Windows 7 Home
Premium SP 1
NOTE: If you have experienced the problem described below, please
reply - off-list, if you wish - so I can document to the Service Desk staff
that, "It's not just me," which I know it's not.
Intermittently, irregularly, in both operating systems, Windows Explorer fails
to display files I just saved.
At work, I save > 99 % of files into a security group of folders on a server on
the LAN. At home, I save > 99 % of files onto the hard drive of my workstation.
Immediately after saving one or more files to either place, I start the files'
native programs or use Windows Explorer to open the files. I navigate to the
folder into which I just saved the file or files. The entries for the files do
not appear.
I choose the folder that contains the files, display the window for the
folder's properties, and confirm that the "Hidden" check box has
_no_check_mark_. I've even applied "Hidden" to the folder and then reversed
the setting. Still no just-saved files displayed.
As of this morning, the most-recent twist is that Windows Explorer displayed
some files that I expected to see but that it did not display last Friday.
Because one of my mapped network drives did not appear in Windows Explorer, I
was advised to log off and to log back on, which I did. Windows Explorer
displayed the "missing" drive just fine. _And_ again displayed the list of
files as it had appeared last Friday.
I suspect that there's a problem with Windows Explorer's caching of its
displays or some such. So, to pursue a fix to the problem, I have to report it
to the staff of the Service Desk. This is where your confirming my experience
comes in.
"¡Thanks!" in advance for your time and interest.
Regards,
Dave Stamm
Information Engineer
