I was faced a problem in Vista today. The problem is that all of the folder-names and file-names were missing in large folder view under my drive in Vista. But I can see under sub folders. Strange ? huh. Take a look at the following snapshot.
That is always happened when we hold the SHIFT key while we’re opening the drive or folder in Vista. To solve this problem, follow the steps.
1. Switch to detail view.
2. Hold down SHIFT key and change to “Medium Icons”.
3. Close the Explorer and re-open it again. There you’ll get your folder names and file names back.

update: It is also happened in XP.

Hmm… that’s interesting,
Who knows, may be that’s an easter egg. :P
Thanks. man..
I feel it’s strange.. I have been using Windows Vista nearly 8 months. I didn’t have that problem.. My windows version is Home Premium… Did you get that problem in “Large Icons” View? Which Vista version are you using?? If you are sure about that problem, you can probably report this issue to Microsoft.. They will appreciate it..

ha ha. could be :P

THANK YOU!
I too had the same problem last week, and I was wondering how that happened.
I rename the parent folder to something else and it started showing the file and folder names correctly. Once i rename back to the original name again, the names got missing again!!
Thanks man, you’re a major life saver! I kept having various folders lose their names and this was a great help in getting them back!
thx man, you save the day!! :D
