Once again I start having more ‘fun’ with Micro$ofts flagship product – it seems to be the usual M$ release program:

1) Release buggy, untested software to the masses
2) Convince technicians that paying M$ to be beta testers for their software is a good thing.
3) Expect technical folk worldwide to solve the most basic issues.
4) Reap the rewards and make big Bill even richer…

Sigh…

This time it’s a stupid little error with the Windows 7 Desktop not refreshing ; By that I mean that the icons don’t disappear when you delete something, or appear when you create something new.
On to the fix…

• Click Start → Run (or press the Windows flag key and the ‘R’ key together)
• Type the word ‘regedit’ – without the quotes
• Keep clicking the ‘+’s and navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BDEADE7F-C265-11D0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F}\Instance (make sure you are in the exact value noted)
• Look for the ‘DontRefresh’ value and double click it
• Change the value from 1 to 0
• Reboot

Enjoy the rest of your life
