Refresh Problem

apollos · 28th August 2004, 14:28

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

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

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

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.

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