In Windows, what is the use of right-click menu refresh?

After 97 years of access to the computer and Windows 95 operating system, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 have been adopted, more than once in the past few years, I have seen that when others are using their computers, they have been crazy about refreshing items on the right-click menu of Windows desktops, so that over the years, I was gradually infected with this line, and I did not consciously perform this operation from time to time. Now, why? I don't even know why I want to do this myself?

Do you have such a habit as Netizens? I don't know why I have such a habit?

Q: Do you often Click Refresh on the desktop?

Before talking about the functions of refresh, Let's first look at how netizens see the desktop refresh and what they understand the refresh.

A1: Test Computer

"Test whether the computer is stuck or not. If the flash occurs, the computer runs normally. If the refresh is slow or choppy, the computer runs properly ." (This Netizen's point of view is also reasonable .)

A2: Refreshing is for fun (sweaty)

"I don't know what the refresh is for. I feel like the desktop is flashing during the refresh, and it seems quite enjoyable, So I'm crazy when I'm okay ." (It's really big, it's amazing. Sweat a bit)

Q: What is the role of refresh?

Right-click and refresh the blank area on the desktop. What is the function? Of course it works, or what does Microsoft do with it? Haha. In the help document of Windows XP, "refresh" is used to update the display information of the current data. We know that this function is applicable to many Windows scenarios, such as updating File Information Display in Explorer and re-loading pages in browsers.

Update file information display in Explorer? What does it mean? It may be hard for beginners to understand the meaning of this sentence. For example, we open a folder first and then use FlashGet to download a file and save it to this folder, in this case, the control Explorer information is generated when the file is opened. It does not automatically notify Explorer of the information, so the folder information we see is still old, that is, if the file downloaded by flash get is not used, the refresh function can be used to let Explorer know: "Oh, a new file was added. I will display it as soon as possible."

TIPS: What is Explorer?

In Windows systems, the computer starts a process named "assumer.exe" at runtime. It is used to manage Windows Graphics shells, including the Start Menu, taskbar, desktop, and file management. If the program is damaged or deleted, the Windows graphic interface cannot be used.

FAQ: Other Functions of refresh

Although refreshing is insignificant, sometimes it can be used properly to solve many computer problems. For example, if a problem occurs in the display card or application, we can use refresh to restore the display. Sometimes we modify the display items about Explorer in the registry. If you want the change to take effect immediately, you can also refresh it to reload the Explorer so that we can immediately see the modification effect. In addition, if the display has encountered a problem and the refresh fault cannot be recovered, the reload Explorer process method can also be used to restore the display to normal.

FAQ: refresh the Desktop

The refreshing behavior on the desktop actually serves to refresh the display information of the current file, because the desktop itself is also a folder (in the Desktop Folder of the user account folder on the system disk ), however, this folder is quite special. Therefore, refreshing on the desktop serves the same purpose as refreshing on the folder.

So far, I believe everyone has a correct understanding of desktop refresh. To put it bluntly, refreshing on the desktop actually does not play much role. So many people have this behavior, it can only be said to be a common habit. It's okay to put the computer there, but there is no purpose to do it with your mouse in your hand. Click the icon to run the program. If you leave the desktop blank, it doesn't reflect the problem, so we can only use refresh to refresh the operations that do not affect other things and can bring some reflection. I think most users are in this purpose. do you say that? There is no reason for such ideas as "refresh is refreshing the system", "memory space can be cleared", and "speeding up system response, it can only mislead beginners.

Do you have the habit of refreshing on the desktop? Why did you click Refresh? You are welcome to express your views so that more people will know that you are also a "Refresh family "!
