Cannot find File when opening Folder

Using B5. Have noticed this from time to time in other versions, Not often though.
Every now and then, I download a file from an nzb. When I try to Open the Folder from the files list, it says "Windows can't find the file:" and then it lists part of the path of where the file exists. When I go to the folder using windows explorer, I find the folder & files with no problem. Could this be a problem that the Path is too long for newsbin to correctly send the info to windows?

Newsbin now unrars to a temp folder and then moves the files to the final destination. This solves a problem where some RAR sets contain a RAR that's the same name as one of the RARs in the main set. Sometimes though, if you sample a set AND the files in the set have their own pathing, the move fails. No files are lost but, the files aren't where you expect them to be. It's on my todo list to look into this.

This happened all on its own, didn't use sample on this.

Well, maybe there's some other cause then. I'll bet you find the files in a folder named for one of the RARS.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. I found the files where they should be using windows explorer. It's only newsbin that has lost them. Newsbin also is not displaying the entire path to the files. I can't open them, open the folder, or delete the files from within newsbin.
