Windows Explorer initially creates a file named "New Text Document.txt" 
or some such before you name the file so this should explain the 
sequence of events you observe. To verify this you could try the 
WatchDir sample in the %JDK_HOME%\sample\nio\file directory as it prints 
the context for each event. As Umashankar suggested, you can also 
observe "unexpected" events on other platforms where editors create foo~ 
or other backup/temporary files.
