File/Folder Rename Refresh Issue

[Chuckster]

A few users are having a problem whereby they rename a file/folder and it doesn't rename instantly.

 

In order to see the new given name a user has to either click back and go straight back into the folder that they came out of to see the new given name or hit F5.

 

Is there a way of curing this problem?

Hi ya, are you using DFS I.E \\servername\dfs\home\user1 ?

[Chuckster]

No, I'm not. It's more \\servername\users$\username

 

I think I've managed to fix it with this registry amendment:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSimpleNetIDList"=dword:00000001

Cool, that looks like the reg key i have here, with the same issue but when using DFS.

[Chuckster]

Yeah, it did mention somewhere on the MS website it only affects DFS shares, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway as I wasn't finding anything viable.

 

Thanks for your responses.
