File count wrong...........

Hello,

This is a very strange problem. I recently upgraded an XP system to Vista
RC1. I have a single very large folder that contains about 20,000 MP3 files.
When I right click on this folder and click Properties, Vista says there are
about 28,000 files in that directory. This is definately not right.

So I went into that directory and selected a subdirectory that contained
only 5 files. When I right click on that directory, the count says 6. I have
selected 'View Hidden & System Files', but there are no hidden files in that
directory.

What is up with this? I'm just concerned that the filesystem itself may be
corrupted.

One theory - does the 'file count' include directories? This would be
strange, because there is also a separate directory count.
