afaIk, this is the explorer notification only. The windows explorer updates
file size display upon change notification.
However, image a programm that writes 1 byte at a time, 1mb per second.
Windows would have a lot to do to keep updates on the file size display.
Therefor notifications are only send when the file handle is closed.

I am really sure, you CAN see the change if you press F5 yourself, to force
updates in the explorer window. For me, I am happy not having explorer take
all my cpu circles for display updates...

Steffen
