    Items do not show as deleted until I manually refresh


    When I delete an item from a folder, it still shows up in the folder until I manually refresh it with F5

    Example:

    Item in folder:



    Deleting item:



    The folder after the item has been deleted, until I press F5 to refresh the folder:



    Can anybody help me with this problem? It's getting to be quite annoying when trying to organize things.

    Well, there doesn't seem to be a hotfix for this problem yet.

    Here's the support article: Desktop items disappear after renaming them on Windows 7
    ..the first social.technet page: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...-3c2394417b6e/
    ..the second social.technet page: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...d-9f3b2644fad6

    Here's a possible solution:

    1) I backed up the registry.

    2) Searched for occurrences of the word refresh and found this key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BDEADE7F-C265-11D0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F}\Instance
    which contains three subkeys. One of them, curiously enough, is DontRefresh and it has a value of 1 (turned ON)

    3) I then changed the value to 0 (turned OFF) and hit F5 to refresh and save the now changed registry.
    In other words...

    Backup your registry.
    Open regedit (start > regedit > enter)
    Search for "DontRefresh"
    Modify DWORD Value to 0

       Tip
    The apparent causes for this are:
    Having UAC Turned OFF
    Having the folder/files in question being shared on a network.

    None of my folders are shared on a network, but I DO have UAC turned down (but not off)

    I will try turning UAC back to the default level and see if it fixes it.

    EDIT: Turning UAC back to the default setting seems to have fixed it! Thanks!

    EDIT 2: Never mind, it's still happening
