It's a nice fix except for one thing - if you use Windows Explorer (like I use it) 
with the left pane showing all the folders, and files on the right, then your fix 
doesn't work.  I tend to use auto arrange for anything that shows icons, since to 
me, it keeps everything neat.  It would be nice if Microsoft were to fix the internal 
bug that causes this error to begin with.
