Vista - Creating new folder on the network

We have a snap server at work. Whenever I try to create a new folder in one
the the existing folder on the network share Vista stops responding. When I
eventually close the offending folder and reopen it, I have many, many
folders with the name 'new folder(1), new folder(2)' etc..... sometime up to
80 or more depending on how long I wait before forcing the innactive window
to close.

Thanks for your help, anyone...

What build of Windows Vista are you using?

Oops, I guess I should have given some details. I am using RC1, build 5600. I
did whatever update were available. The server is a snap 112060 running some
flavor of unix.

I have reported similar issues since RC1 and now is see RTM does same.

In Explorer window I right click (new folder/text file/etc.) and it does not
seem to do anything. Hit F5 to refresh and there is the new folder (for
example) called 'New Folder'. I can then rename it.

I have not seen this on local drives only UNC shares on both Win2003 and
Win200 file servers. I am in admin group with Full permissions for all (and
Full Share permisisons as well).

This is ok at command prompt (md \\server\share$\newfoldername)...

Anyone?

Crap, I take that back. I just checked and yeah, it is the same on local
drives.
