When using Windows Explorer and navigating from folder to folder, I regularly
have the navigation pane change the name of the first level of folders to
"Desktop". I then have between 5 and 20 folders named "Desktop" however when
you select the one with the computer icon you get "My Computer", recycle bin
shows up as "Desktop", My network places shows up as "Desktop", etc. The only
way to get it to show the correct folder names is to close the Explorer
window and open a new one. Until it gets screwed up.

I have seen this since the original Windows XP Pro came out and it is still
here in Windows XP Pro SP3.

Any ideas?
