Whenever I move or delete files from my shared/saved folder using windows explorer I get the same results, LW for a little while thinks the files are still there. However, LW soon catches up and realises that the files are gone, so its not really a problem.

If you look in the shared folder, using windows explorer, there are two permanent LW files there (can't remember their names at the moment - I'm at work) and, I believe, these files keep a check on the names and number of files being shared by LW. It just takes a few additional seconds for these two (special) files to update themselves.

However, I could be totally wrong as the above is based totally on my own observations, and that one of these files is a *.dat file.
