Hi

Using Windows XP Pro all up to date.

When I drag and drop icons from one window to another in explorer the new icon doesnt appear in the destination window.

How strange?

Its only a recent occurance

Also if I right click and create a new folder I cant see the new folder in the current window.

If I go Back or up a level and then open the folder again I can see the icon for the newly moved/created file.

Any ideas folks?


cheers

That excellent Jephree, many thanks

I knew the registry would be the answer somehow....
