Windows NT Explorer may stop responding (hang) for 10-20 seconds when you
type a new folder name on a local or remote Macintosh-accessible (Service
For Macintosh User Authenticated Method) volume or folder. After the
computer stops responding, the new folder name reverts to "New Folder"
until you refresh the window. At this time, the folder name becomes the
incomplete name entered before your computer stopped responding. You can
now rename the incomplete folder name to a new folder name without
experiencing the same behavior.
