Folder names do not update when you run Explorer.exe as a published application in a Citrix Metaframe XP session on a Windows 2000-based Terminal server (832427)

SYMPTOMS

When you use Citrix Metaframe XP to connect to a Microsoft Windows 2000-based Terminal server, and Explorer.exe is configured to run as a published application in Citrix, when a folder is renamed on a redirected client drive in the Citrix Metaframe XP session, the folder name does not update dynamically. The folder still displays the old name of the renamed folder.

Note We do not recommend running Explorer.exe as a published application because the published Explorer.exe application runs as a separate process that has restricted access to the desktop.
