Here is an IE bug that I can duplicate by following these steps exactly.
Can you?

I found no simple way to report bugs on the Microsoft website.  Do MS
employees monitor this ng?

1. This bug occurs only in Favorites SUB-folders with multiple bookmarks.
It does not occur in the main Favorites folder.
2. From an open IE window, use the Favorites menu to select a bookmark in a
sub-folder and move it within the subfolder (rearrange the display order of
the favorite).
3. While the moved favorite is still highlighted, right click and select
Rename.
4. Type a change to the name and click OK.
5. The new name is NOT displayed.
6. While the favorite is still highlighted, right click and select Rename.
7. Type a change to the name and click OK.
8. Message box displays - Title: "Error Renaming File or Folder", Message:
"Cannot rename file: Cannot read from the source file or disk."
9. Click OK.  Rename box reappears.  Click cancel.
10. Close the sub-folder and come back to it, and the original change made
in step 4 is now displayed correctly.
