Explorer's Folder Tree + icon


Recommended Posts

Posted

I purchased a new XP computer (woohoo!) and found something

annoying. If I have the Folder pane open under Explorer and

click on a folder without subfolders, the + icon appears on the

folder when it shouldn't.

 

The really weird thing is that if I minimize the window and

thing open it, the + icon disappears!

 

Is there a patch/fix for this?

 

Thanks...

This is the normal behavior of Windows Explorer. The list is "virtual" and a

folder is not initially displayed in it's entirety until you click on it.

Sometimes the TreeView does not refresh fast enough (in the case of a long

running, CPU/Video intensive, or a hung process). When a view has the focus

(is selected) pressing the "F5" key to refresh the view.
