Must refresh folder after adding new folders or files to see changes

I have Win XP SP2 installed. I have a shared folder on our Win 2003 SBS R2
server. When one of our users (the boss) adds a folder to the shared folder
it doesn't show up untill "Refresh" is selected from the menu or he presses
the F5 key. Then we see the folder "New Folder". He can change the name of
the new folder but again the changes can't be seen until a refresh is done.
The same goes for adding new files or changing the names of existing ones.
This is only happens when he is working in the network shared folder. None
of the rest of our users are having this problem so I'm sure that it is a
problem with his computer.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I think she's running about 99% correct from what I've seen the past
7+ years.
