Show New Files in Windows Explorer

[J Bunton]

I have written a programme in VB (a 5 year old version)

One of the things it does is to create new directories and files within them

Problem:-
The new directories and files are not displayed in Windows explorer unless
it is closed down and reopened.
I have tries the Refresh option in explorer.

Any offers please

Is this new behaviour ?

BroadcastSystem Message looks like a place to start looking

Or perhaps SendMessage( HWND_BROADCAST ....
or PostMessage

maybe with WM_SETTINGCHANG E
