undo redo file disappeared

I am using Vista Home on a new Dell computer.
I rename a group of pictures, then, undo the rename, then, redo the rename.
Then, the whole group of pictures disappeared. I Google and found this is a
Vista bug. Can you tell me where are the pictures? How can I retrieve it?
Thank you.

WHY do you do it, then undo it and then redo it?

Are you a moron?

Windows KNOWS that you are a moron.

You can't, because you're a moron.

Andy,
I have this EXACT same problem. Were you ever able to figure it out.
Dell/Microsoft both refused to help me without charging me! Please let me
know, I have tried everything!

I'm replying to this old thread because of the lack of information for
this Vista bug...

I hit this "rename file, file disappears" bug somewhat regularly. But I
can't predict when it will happen. Renaming photos, or arbitrary files.
Sometimes they just disappear. I just renamed a file and had it
disappear, renamed the only other in the same directory, and now the
directory looked empty. But the files are not actually gone.

What appears to be happening is that the explorer window is merely not
refreshing the view properly. Hit F5 (refresh) and all the files show up
properly. I'm a frequent computer user, and this is the only Vista bug
I've encountered (caveat: I waited for Vista SP1).

I don't know if this is a Vista Ultimate x64 only bug, but strangely I
now suspect that it may be a "higher end" Vista problem since I haven't
found more people complaining about it. I don't recall seeing the
problem on x86, but it could be there.

Your "rename, undo, redo" trick didn't trigger the bug for me. It would
be nice for Microsoft if someone found and reported a repeatable
scenario to produce the bug effect. In the meantime, just hit F5.
