Still does that in Vista too. Oh my other best Vista moment; if you've  
read my blog entry about my boss flattening his photo folders then I  
missed this bit.

Windows Explorer, my boss moves the photos he wants to keep into another  
folder then clicks on the now purposeless folder in the folder tree list  
and presses Del and Yes and the folder heads to the bin, but the file  
window still displays the contents of the now non-existing folder until he  
selects a different folder. Focus hasn't changed so he thinks he's deleted  
the wrong folder by accident because see all the files are stil there;  
that really messed him up until he worked out was was happening.
