Directory Tree Not Updated After Rename (59673)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.0
  • Microsoft Windows 3.0a

This article was previously published under Q59673

SYMPTOMS

If you have a directory window open in File Manager for a given directory and rename that directory using the Directory Tree, the window open for that directory does not update to reflect the new name. The open window is now useless because File Manager tries to use the old path when accessing files in that directory, so all operations give "File Not Found" errors.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
