AnswerHow to refresh the Windows Explorer and Desktop program.

    Is there any way to pro-grammatically  send the F5 (refresh command) to Windows Explorer and the Desktop? I used Spy++ in explorer and noticed the message WM_UPDATEUISTATE. Can I use this for both explorer and desktop. How can I get the window handle to pass the message to?

    Thanks
