Re: Desktop Not Refreshing

thnx for posting,

sorry for incomplete desciption:

when I right click the mouse and select refresh in the menu the desktop icons does not
flicker (don't know if it's the right term) or the it doesn't flash or make any flashing movement and the recycle bin icon does not display the it's correct status; example if it contains deleted files the icon still shows it is empty.

Hope for your reply.


Thnx
