Get "file already exists" on trying to save a new file (after rena

[D70neRd]

I save copies of monthly bills I receive online and don't want ot retype the
entire file name each time I save, so on trying to save a pdf, for example, I
click on an existing file name (e.g. company_20070111to20070210.pdf) then in
the file name field on the "Save As ..." dialog box. That changes the file
name to be saved from the cryptic web server generated name to the name of
the existing file I chose.

After doing that I then edit the name in the file name field and change it,
for example, to company_20070311to20070410.pdf then I click the button to
save. Vista alerts me that the file already exists, even though a file with
the new name does not exist. It appears to be still referencing the file name
I originally clicked and changed.

This occcurs in Vista Ultimate and Home Premium. Never experienced this in XP.
