With the install of win7-64sp1 I get a windows explorer popup on any folder rename including .zip files.

"Could not find this item"

They are referring to the old name. What a bug. If I click "Try Again' the popup goes away, folder is renamed.

Lots of posts on the net about this but no fixes. I tried a registry patch (that I shouldn't have) and it did nothing to fix. My experience with Microsoft is that they will never fix this, and want me to buy windows 8.

This started happening after the install of sp1.

I posted in one of the zillions of ridiculously byzantine and almost useless Microsoft forums but expect no answer there. They'll probably tell me to reinstall windows.
