| Desktop Does Not Refresh After Desktop Folder Redirection We've been implementing a desktop folder redirection using group policy. The redirection it self works just fine, but we have run into a problem with it on laptops. Initially, you can create a file and save it to the desktop and it immediately shows up. Then, if the laptop is unplugged from the network and then plugged back in, a new file saved to the desk top does not immediately appear. For it to show, you must press F5 for a refresh of the desktop. It is almost as if after being unplugged from the network, the desktop view is no longer actively refreshed. I've left the computer alone for a good deal of time to see if it would ever update the desktop on it's own and it never does. I already tried what is listed in the following Microsoft KB article http://support.microsoft.com/?id=823291 I triple checked the registry settings mentioned in the above KB article and the desktop still will not update properly. Has anyone run into this or have any idea where to head from here? I appreciate the help. |

| Re: Desktop Does Not Refresh After Desktop Folder Redirection I have seen the same thing. The issue is once windows XP goes into offline mode for the redirected folders. Once it reconnects and is "online" the redirected folders no longer update automatically on the local machine. The strange thing is that the issue is almost perfectly described as what happens in KB 823291, but the solution does not fix the problem. This problem is perfectly repeatable on any of my machines. Anyone have this problem? mjmanges wrote: > We've been implementing a desktop folder redirection using group > policy.
