[AccessD] Very Strange File Names - Temporarily

I've seen messed up file names in Windows Explorer every 3 or 4 months in a thin client network environment.  I hadn't tried the screen shot to see whether it captured the actual file names.  I suspected it to be a bandwidth/refresh issue.  The problem always resolved itself and only ever appeared to affect Explorer.
