So I have this problem in Windows XP SP1 where Windows Explorer will not automatically refresh when renaming/copying/moving a file on a network share. Microsoft's KB says this is a known problem and that there is a hot fix available. So I call up support to get that hot fix...

After some lengthy troubleshooting I'm told that they won't send me the hot fix unless I call "Pro" support first. Well, fvck that, I ain't paying $200+ for a hot fix!

While this problem is annoying, I can wait for SP2.

Oh, and they didn't even have an ETA on the next SP! :|

ETA on SP2 is quite a ways out yet, while I don't have an exact date most sites are reporting Q3 of 2004.

I've never had a problem getting a hotfix for an issue, always told them that I am experiencing the defined symptoms, and want the patch. They never asked for credit card information, and never required me to do troubleshooting. Tell them you are a professional and you've already done the troubleshooting, and you want the hotfix!

I did tell them that, and it got me nowhere...

I mean, come on, all the hot fix calls for is replacing a single DLL file, and then making some modifications to the registry. I even told the guy I would back up everything before applying the hot fix, just to make him feel better.

[edit]
Maybe TheToOTaLL, you can call for me and get me the file? Since you're all powerful and stuff... 😛
