Windows 7: Windows Explorer Icons Problem!

DaYiM · 14 Feb 2011

Hello,
Any changes i do in Windows Explorer ( Copy, paste, cut & rename )
it doesn't show up unless i refresh!!!!!!
it's doesn't happened after i restart or "End & Reopen the explorer
Process in task manager" immediately, but after couples of hours it's pops up again
this problem happened to me before, and now one week later
after i have formatted my laptop it's happening again & it's very annoying.

Maybe get some decent anti virus to check your system?

Can you provide us anymore details? Like... when did it stop working? what were you doing before it stopped working. It is strange that you re-formatted and the problem is now recurring.

thanks, but nothing had stopped working, everything working just fine.
just that all the changes that i do in windows explorer appear only after i REFRESH!

Have you tried - SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker ?

Hello DaYiM,

You might see if this may work for you as well. Be sure to create a restore point first though to be safe.

can I set automatic window refresh?

Quote:

Open the Start Menu
Type regedit in the search box and press enter
Right click on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in the registry and click Find
Type dontrefresh in the search box and then hit enter
You will see DontRefresh, right click it and click on Modify to change the settings, set it to 0 (number zero)
Restart your computer.

thanks, when i verify my system files i got this:- ( How to fix it? & is it related to my problem? )

one more thing does the automatic REFRESH do when ever i change something?

DaYiM,

You were suppose to use the sfc /scannow command instead of sfc /verifyonly command. Verify will not attemp to repair the files.

Did you try the option I posted above for DontRefresh? It's the usual solution for the issue you described.

sfc /scannow Didn't work.
and i didn't find DontRefresh??!

The screenshot you have shows that the command prompt is not runnning elevated (run as administrator) since it did not open with C:\Windows\system32 at the prompt. /scannow will not run unless it's a elevated command prompt.

Did you have UAC turned on when you tried to open a elevated command prompt? This may be why.

Hope this helps.
