SYMPTOMS
After you copy a file to a folder in the Windows CE RAM file system, the size of the file may appear as 0 bytes until you refresh the File Explorer view (by pressing F5, or by tapping Refresh on the View menu).



CAUSE
Windows CE File Explorer caches folder information until it notified by the file system that the folder information has changed. When this problem occurs, the file system notifies the shell of the new file when the file is created, but does not notify the shell when the file size is updated.



RESOLUTION
A supported software update is now available from Microsoft as Windows CE 4.1 Core OS QFE 329879. To resolve this problem immediately, click the following article number for information about obtaining Windows CE Platform Builder and core operating system software updates:
