The "My Documents" Folder Is Not Refreshed Correctly When It Is Redirected to a NetWare Server

Article ID: 285897

Article Last Modified on 2/19/2007



APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Edition



This article was previously published under Q285897

SYMPTOMS

If you have redirected the My Documents folder to a NetWare server and you delete files from the folder, the files do not disappear from the folder until you refresh the view manually.

CAUSE

This problem is caused by an internal window naming problem. Every folder is set up to accept notifications based on an internal name. The My Documents folder is configured to use only a shortened version of this internal name, but the notifications are being sent by using the longer internal name. When a refresh is requested automatically, the My Documents folder does not receive the request because the name is in the incorrect format.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
