    Is there a way to Refresh windows(Right Click on desktop and Click Refresh) using a vb code. (I heard that you can do it from the regedit.exe; not sure if it's true or not) Sorry for being extremely specific.

      I think that only refreshs your desktop icons. What would you want to do this? I am guessing that you could send a windows message but I am not sure which one. Ben

          You posted this to me, when you should have posted it to the original question. I checked your link and it only talks about the registery. It doesn't talk about the original question which is refreshing the desktop. Ben
