This article was previously published under Q178364 SYMPTOMS
When you view files and folders on a computer running both Windows NT
Server 4.0 and Services for Macintosh from a Macintosh OS 8.0 client, you
may see files and folders constantly shifting, similar to what is seen
when Cleanup is selected from the Macintosh View menu. Users may also see
duplicate files in the same folder.
CAUSE
Macintosh OS 8.0 Finder has changed in functionality regarding the
AppleShare client and Finder. Finder now attempts to set the initialization
bit option in the file's resource fork. Failure to set this bit causes the
constant shifting of the files. Due to changes in how Macintosh clients
cache a remote directory list, you may see similar symptoms for reasons
other than this issue.
