VBAHole22 Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Windows explorer got a little more confucing with the advent of XP. I am using XP home and when I am looking at files in explorer I often get a refresh where the whole screen flickers, gets updated, and I lose any selections I may have made. What is going on? Can I make it stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvw Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 When you view local drives or mapped network drives in Windows Explorer on a Windows XP-based installation, the left pane (folder tree) or tree view may flicker or constantly refresh the whole directory structure with speeds varying from every few seconds to every few minutes. Windows Explorer refreshes or redraws the open window when it receives a file change notification. Note Excessive flickering can also be caused by antivirus software or some other rogue third-party software constantly updating the folder or directory tree on the server that clients are connected to.
