This is just the way Android works... It caches everything on boot when it says "Preparing SD Card" so even though you make the changes through ES File Explorer it doesnt matter anyway since the OS doesnt know that you made the changes...

The solution is to either restart the phone or connect your phone to a PC as a Disk Drive and then disconnect it shortly after. This will essentially force the phone to re-scan the SD card and update Android's cache.
