There we go! I think that will help, thanks Rich.

I closed and reopened Explorer window and at each step as I tried to rename the folder I refreshed OFV and nothing changed at any one of those steps, so it must be one of these items thats' affecting it. Does anyone know what they are without me killing them randomly and potentially screwing something up?
