windows explorer does not show changes
Posted by akoch_duisburg on November 17th, 2005


Hello!

The Windows Explorer on a XP Machine (XP SP", IE 6.0.2900.2180) does not
update the view (automatically) anymore. After creating, renaming, deleting
or moving a file or folder, whatever one did is not shown until i hit F5.
AFAIK this happened out of the blue, but I can't be 100% sure, it might have
been for quite a while and thereby a few updates ago (and I would really not
like rolling the machine back something like 10 months...).
Suggestions of how to solve this are highly appreciated.

Best greetings from germany

OH is on the XP CD in Support Tools

Open a folder type
oh +kst
oh +otl

then reboot and type
oh /t file "\folderpath from root"

eg

oh /t file "Documents and Settings\David Candy\My Documents\Fiddler"

OH needs a folder path if there is no extension as it is stupid. In NT there is no such thing as drive letters so omit.

Programs open a folder as a file, pass the opened file handle to a function. Windows notifies the program when something happens. This is looking to see if another program (apart from Explorer) also has opened the folder and is interferring.
