Right, on XP, I have never seen this happen on our DFS shares.   It's
only my Vistamachine, and even on this machine/build, it used to work
right.   My users work primarily out of our DFS shares - and knowing
them, I would hear about it since I doubt they grasp the idea of
'Refresh' or F5 ;)

  I thought that was the expected behavior.  Any time I've set-up a DFS
tree, it has behaved that way.  Specifically, any changes to a folder's
contents that happen after Explorer first reads the directory are not
noticed automatically.  You have to manually refresh.  That includes
creating folders and files, moves, copies, deletes, etc.
It's like Explore isn't getting the filesystem change notification
messages.  I always figured it was just a bug/limitation with DFS.
Are you saying you've actually seen it work *right* before?  :-)
