Force Desktop / Explorer To Refresh

[war59312]

Hey,

Anyone have the tweak to make windows desktop / explorer auto refresh.

You know for example, if you delete a file and it goes to the recycle bin then the recyle bin updates to the full icon and goes back to empty when you empty the recycle bin.

This does not work btw.

Code:

; Force Auto Refresh
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Update]
"UpdateMode"=dword:00000000

Thanks,
Will

Anyone have any ideas?

Really starting to piss me off.

I don't use the Recycle Bin but this is what it's set to on mine:

"UpdateMode"=dword:00000001

K downloading customizer xp right now then. I have looked though aton of different appz and none have it or does not work.

Btw this has happen sicne I reinstalled windows with no tweaks even applyied so.

Yeap like I though no refresh option. Guess I will try TweakXp after second restart.

Well no luck with TweakXP Pro v3 either.

Seeing as it just does:

Code:

;Force Explorer Auto Refresh
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Update]
"UpdateMode"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Update]
"UpdateMode"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Update]
"UpdateMode"=dword:00000000

I have not tired every location of UpdateMode. Have tired zero and 1 and even 2 and three just for the heck of it. Nothing!!

Automatic Window Refresh is checked in TweakXP but still nothing.

And of course I have tried deleting all three. Still jack.

poopie is pissing me off. Even reinstall windows lol. Still not working right. So wtf. Damn sp2 bug, I guess. Seeing as no programs are even install atm nor are any tweaks. So wtf.

First time this has ever happened. Without the above tweaks working which always fixed the problem. Which was ware at that. So wtf.
