Windows Explorer no longer refreshes automatically

[Conan Kelly]

Hello all,

This is something that has just started recently. When looking at network drives/folders (and maybe local drives/folders), windows
explorer no longer refreshes automatically. Not even when I'm deleting, moving, unzipping files or when I flip into Windows
Explorer from another program. I have to hit [F5] to see the changes that have been made.

Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide,

Conan Kelly

there is a setting for this in the registry that can fix this.
but i don't seggest it unless you know what you are doing.

there are other ways as well.
but most of them cost money and do other things as well.

Steven Wabik,

Thank you for your help. Can you tell me what the setting (and the "path") is. I'm very comfortable working with the registry and
I usually back it up before I go messing with it.

Thanks again,

Conan
