The My Network Places tree does not refresh for very long intervals

(hours or days sometimes).

 

After I have shut down my laptop (which has been on wireless port to

my wired network), the Laptop shared directories remain displayed in

Windows Explorer for long periods (My Network Places/Entire

Network/Microsof Windows Network/Workgroup/Laptop).

 

Similarly for those Laptop directories that are listed as direct sub

directory entries off of My Network Places. View/Refresh does not fix

this.

 

Also, when I again turn on the laptop, it's shared directories do not

appear for some time if they were eventually removed during a long

(hours or days) disconnect period.

 

How do I force Windows Explorer to update the network tree to match

actual current conditions? As I said, View/Refresh does not work.
