Fix for "Item not found" when renaming a folder

There is a Windows Update that causes a problem that any time I try to rename a folder.   I get an error "Item not found" when trying to rename a folder.  If I choose to retry, it then works.

The fix (which I've had to do twice on two computers now), is described here: http://tevyawashburn.com/post/fix-item-not-found-regarding-folders-in-windows-7-64bit/ (and many other places).

To make it easy, here is a registry file to make the changes for you: FolderItemNotFoundFix.reg

After applying the registry fix, reboot (or maybe logout/login again).
