quick question....

I dont think there is a way, but I am going to ask anyway. Is it possible to force a desktop refresh? I have a line of code that removes a shortcut from the user's desktop, but the icon doesnt disappear until the desktop is refreshed.
Thanks.

I had an idea and it seems to work.

Try this code (with the proper folder name of course, set a variable if you have too to capture the folder name):

Folder.Find(_DesktopFolder, "[I]FolderNameHere[/I]", true, nil)

I find that it refreshes the Desktop!

:yes

This works too (forget looking for the folder):

Folder.Find(_DesktopFolder, [B]"*.*"[/B], true, nil)

i couldnt get this to work

has something changed in the latest versions or in windows that causes this to not have the side effect of refreshing the desktop ?
