What's Going on between Python and win7?

[W. eWatson]

Last night I copied a program from folder A to folder B. It inspects the 
contents of files in a folder. When I ran it in B, it gave the results 
for A! Out of frustration I changed the name in A, and fired up the 
program in B. Win7 went into search mode for the file. I looked at 
properties for the B program, and it was clearly pointing to folder A.

Anyone have this happen to them?

Another anomaly. I have the files track.py and trackstudy.py in the same 
folder along with 100 or so other py and txt data files. When I did a 
search from the folder window in the upper right corner, search only 
found one of the two. I called HP tech support about it, and they could 
see it for themselves via remote control. They had no idea, but agreed 
to  contact MS. In this case, I noted that this search box has some sort 
of filter associated with it. Possibly, in my early stages of learning 
to navigate in Win7, I accidentally set the filter.

Comments?
