Thanks for that... Hadn't noticed HN automatically truncates long URLs.

Irrelevant tangent: More support forums need that "Me too" button.

It was bad form to just post a link without any background...

There is a well-known usability bug in Win7 explorer that the engineers are aware of but don't seem to care about.

I'm irritated because it seems the only attention given to Win7 is critical/security fixes, while any non-critical bugs will be ignored and the answer will be to simply buy the next version of Windows if you want the problem to go away. IMO a lack of attention to detail and caring about your users.
