Yes, that's exactly what I mean. It shows itself up more when new users are
trying to save a file in a folder using WORD or similar. If they are too slow
clicking on the folder they want, it goes into this 'remame' state, and then
they accidentally drag and the folder gets moved to somewhere else. Other
users in the class see the folder for one minute but then it suddenly
disappears because someone as accidentally moved it to become a sub-folder
somewhere else.

I agree slowing down the Double click feature may help, but as I said, I am
not always given access to Control Panel in a public library.

One thing that you CAN do is teach them to do the work from the left
panel, where the folder name cannot be edited using a second (slow)
click. Not a complete solution, but it may help.
