Windows 7 Folder, Filer and Desktop Bug

Seems that Explorer will not refresh the desktop or folders after a file change until you hit F5.

I found a fix for this:
  1. In Folder Options - View tab: clicking both Reset Folders and Restore Defaults and OK.
  2. Deleting everything in the %temp% folder
  3. Use cmd and navigate to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local
  4. Close windows explorer by Ctrl+Alt+delete and Go to task manager choses explorer process and end task.

5. In command window at AppData\Local run: attrib -h iconcache.db

6. In command window at AppData\Local run: del iconcache.db

  1. At the command prompt type: shutdown.exe /r /t 00
