Filenames Do Not Match

Can anyone explain this:
3219

The screenshot shows the folder view (in Windows Explorer), and a
directory listing (in a Command Line window). Why is the Explorer window
showing different filenames than the command line window?

It's not so much of an issue, as I'm currently completing a scheduled
backup of this drive using Nero Burning ROM, and will be formatting it
soon.

But what if this "glitch" happens again?

When you rename the User shell folders, the renaming is done via the
folder's desktop.ini file with a line like this:

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName= Old Downloads

The actual folder name stays the same, so that it's in sync with the entries
in the registry under:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\User Shell Folders]

I understand that, but I haven't yet redirected my user folder to the
D:! I only finished building this machine on Friday, and have over the
past few days been pre-occupied with data recovery efforts on a lost
JBOD array. The D: you see in the screenshot comes right out of my old
computer.

Oddly enough though, when I turned the computer on this morning, the
filenames matched, and when I renamed a folder back to "Old Downloads",
the name change was reflected in both Windows Explorer and Command Line.


See here:
3221

Oh, well. I'll chalk this one up as one of those little mysteries...

So you're saying you never renamed them to 'Old <foldername>'?

That is weird.

Actually, prior to building my new computer, I had that hard drive
plugged into a Windows XP machine so that I could determine whether the
hard drives where working or not (The old machine suffered a major surge
that wasn't stopped by the UPS). It was there that I appended "Old " to
the folder names.

When I plugged the drive into the new Vista machine, I got the results
that you saw in the screenshot.

Just tested more & I misspoke.

It's not just User shell folders -- any folder that has a display name
assigned by the LocalizedResourceName entry in desktop.ini will, when
renamed, change the LocalizedResourceName rather than the actual folder name
in the file system.

A folder has to have its read-only attribute set to tell Explorer to process
its desktop.ini file. Perhaps the read-only attribute was cleared when the
folder reverted to its actual name.
