FAQ

INSTANT REFRESH

Windows 98/95 doesn't refresh the view of its files/folders as often as we'd like it to. To make it refresh them constantly, run Regedit and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Update In the right hand pane, right-click on the UpdateMode value (or Update on some machines) and select Modify. Highlight 01 (or 1 in some cases) and change its Decimal value to 0. It will actually show as 0x00000000 (0), because this is a DWORD (double-word) value. Exit the Registry Editor and restart Windows when done.

CAUTION: This constant refresh setting might impair your computer's performance if your CPU's clock speed is 200 MHz or lower, and you are using Windows 98 or have installed Microsoft Internet Explorer 4/5 on your Windows 95/OSR2 machine!

Many thanks to Richard Vopelak for this hint.
