Vista is so good that it can randomly rename files as you copy them from one folder to another.

One day I started out with:
picasa-install.exe
install.seamonkey.win32.en.114.exe
xenu.linksleuth.install.zip

and after copying to another folder I had:
install.seamonkey.win32.en.114.exe with the picasa icon
install.seamonkey.win32.en.114 (2).exe with the mozilla icon
install.seamonkey.win32.en.114.zip with the ZIP icon

I identified which one was which, uisng the file size and date/time stamps as verification and renamed them back to what they should have been.

I have "lost" several documents in the past. Now I suspect they are somewhere on the drive but with the wrong name. I might never find them again.
