Lose your filenames in explorer?

I think it sometimes happens when you hold Shift (sometimes unconsciously) and you double-click to open a folder. Whether it's the holding of the Shift to open it; or if, in holding Shift, it mass-selects and opens a bunch of folders; but your folder opens up without file names and folder names. It usually happens for your pictures, when in Filmstrip View or in Thumbnails View.

It's a real pain if you're anal about your filenames. So of course I got upset and Googled high and low about how to fix it. I eventually found a site called Tech Spikes which had the solution.

All you have to do it change View out of Thumbnails or Filmstrip, then change it back while holding Shift.

Nice and easy. After wasting time searching for how.
