Mapped drive not refreshing content changes. Win7 RC.
This is either an easy fix I have overlooked, or a bug... I have Win7 RC on both main PC and laptop. I setup a share folder on the main PC, map drive to it from laptop. I can connect to it fine, read files fine etc. When I make a change to that folder (add or remove files) while on the main PC, the change does not show up when I view the folder from the laptop. Manually refreshing the folder doesn't help. I have to disconnect the mapped drive, reconnect it and changes are visible.

Some additional info: On laptop, if I open explorer and manually go to \\server\share and leave that open, changes are reflected instantly. The problem only occurs when using mapped drive. While I prefer the manual way anyways, it's not convenient for the laptop user :)
