Posted July 18, 200717 yr 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. Dick Ballard ballardr@att.net
