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.

Dave Stamm
