What I meant is that in any folder view (icon,list,etc...) I see the icon corresponding to default editor files (in this case notepad), but the name is blanked. I cannot see the name of the file until I double click on it: by then, the name appears in the title bar of notepad. I hope this time the explaination is clearer.

I'll send a screenshot tonight, not at home right now :-(

I actually installed it on XP here turning this feature off (I want to find easily my .gitignore and .gitattributes).

No idea on how to solve this yet. I'll look.
