Hi

Wonder if someone could possibly give me some vb.net code to refresh the desktop. I've written a program that creates a namespace extension on the desktop but can't get it to refresh the desktop so it show up without logging off and on again.

Can anyone help please ??

Thanks in advance

Hi Folks,

Sorted it.

Code:
Private Declare Function SHChangeNotify Lib "Shell32.dll" (ByVal wEventID As Long, ByVal uFlags As Long, ByVal dwItem1 As Long, ByVal dwItem2 As Long) As Long

Call SHChangeNotify(&H8000000&, &H0, vbNullString, vbNullString)

Thanks anyway
