Refresh Problem
 

When I empty my recycle bin, the icon shows it's still full, and the same applies to any other desktop items, for them to be refreshed I must manually refresh for them to change.

I've rebuilt my icon cache, rebooted, anybody got any other ideas?

Thanks a lot :)

what OS?

Hes running XP sp2 iirc

SP2 problem maby?

Try swiching back to pre SP2 for a moment, try it again.

switch back to SP2 just for refresh not working? :p

God I wish I had that much free time on my hands ;p

I've had the same problem with SP1 && SP0. Just ignore it, reboot and it'll go, but to be honest rebooting is going overboard, it's nothing too bad is it really.

naw rebooting doesn't fix it, maybe I'm just being fussy :p

download this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

after you instal it:
start menue>>Powertoys for Windows XP>>TweakUI

in TweakUI click the very last item on the left (Repair).
Make sure it says "Rebuild Icons" in the white box on the right.
Click "repair now"

Try that.

He did that.

i didn't know if he meant he rebuilt it with that, or with another program (ie, iconpackager)

yup tried that, didn't work.
I reckon my PC just has some evil garden knomes in it ¬_¬

its the piggies that fly around in the case making things work. theyre made of bricks ya see and keep crashing
