    Open window refresh


    I've been using Win7 for about 5 months now. all in all, i'm glad i moved up from XP.
    One annoyance couldn't find a way 2 solve is when i have an exlporer window open, i have 2 hit f5 in order 2 c any changes, like when i save a pic 4 ex when i'm browsing, i go 2 the already open folder where i saved it...nothing.... i have 2 refresh 2 c it.
    smt i didn't exprience with XP.....anybody having a similar issue?

    Welcome!

    It seems there are a number of people with that problem.

    Try this link for starters: Explorer will not refresh automatically

    You can also try disabling your anti-virus, and see if that helps.

    Another great resource is the search of this site. I can't practically give all the links to similar issues, but try searching for refresh explorer: Windows 7 Forums - Search Forums
