That's a good suggestion. However I _think_ I've seen this on a normal 100M
LAN a couple of times. I normally use ZTree for file management, so I never
paid much attention to the Explorer thing, but I definitely have seen an F5
not notice new directories (or was it deleted directories??). I believe it
was not over dial up.

Hmmm. I wonder if it is when I am using Terminal Server to access a server
over the network? Anyway, not a big deal for me.
