Guest Jim McGivney Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 I have a computer with XP pro. When I do a file operation such as copy, paste, cut or move the change is not reflected in Windows Explorer view of the folder. When I got to VIEW>>Refresh then everything is as it should be. How do I turn on automatic refreshing ? I must have turned it off somehow. Thanks in advance for your help, Jim

I've seen where what you mention happens on occasion and I have no idea why, yet when it happens I just press the F5 key to refresh. -- Brian A.
