CAN NOT CREATE/RENAME NETWORK FOLDER
Here's a really weird one! As if they all aren't.
Anybody got any help on this one. When I try to create a new folder on a
network drive using Vista Business I get an error message that states
that the directory I am trying to create the new folder in does not exist, do
I want to create it. Of course it does exist because I'm IN it.

The only way I can create a new folder is if I leave the default name "New
Folder" alone. If I create the folder this way and then try to rename it,
same error message, the directory I am currently in trying to create or
rename a folder "does not exist".

This definitely is NOT a permissions issue as there has never been a problem
via XP or 2003. Something weird in Vista.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

*UPDATE* RE: CAN NOT CREATE/RENAME NETWORK FOLDER
I have discovered that if I try to create the folder from the command prompt
(still logged in as the same user) I have no problem whatsoever creating it.

HELP!
