    Folder not refreshing automatically


    Hello folks !

    For me I noticed that the issue with the folder not refreshing automatically occurs only when Windows Explorer is set up for display in "List view". By default, I believe, it is showing "Detailed view".
    This confirmation came when I made a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 from scratch, and the only think I changed was "List view" in Windows Explorer.

    Cheers !

    Mine is Detailed view and they still don't refresh. Ex, when downloading to the Desktop the new file won't show until I refresh it.

    Microsoft has replied to me that this behaviour is by design, it is how Windows Explorer should act in "List view". Unlike "List view" ,they said that "Detailed view" is updating automatically because of the attributes it must show: date modified, date created, type, size.

    I think they meant to say "We don't know". I have Detailed view but no refresh after an hour or so uptime.

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible when customizing folder icons, that when creating a new folder in the sub-directory that it would copy the icon of the Master folder icon? instead of always having to edit the new folder's icon. Thanks.

The user folder in root drive sometimes shared itself. I often unshared it and stays that way for a little while before sharing itself again.This really annoys me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
This has been so frustrating. When I open a folder (usually a desktop folder) after maybe 5-10 minutes the desktop flashs (icons reload) and the folder closes without warning.
