OT: Windows 7 operating systems, Windows Explorer failing to display files

[Shmuel Wolfson]

I had that for a while. You forgot to mention whether you have a 64-bit 
computer. I think the problem by me was when I transferred a file using 
a 32-bit program. Windows Explorer, which I assume is 64-bit on a 64-bit 
OS, didn't always display the file. I haven't noticed in a while, so 
maybe a Windows update took care of it.

Because one of my mapped network drives did not appear in Windows Explorer, I was advised to log off and to log back on, which I did.  Windows Explorer displayed the "missing" drive just fine.  _And_ again displayed the list of files as it had appeared last Friday.
