command line - refresh desktop

[oneLess]

ControlSend ("[CLASS:Progman]", "", "SysListView321", "{F5}")

can I do that from command line or .cmd file ?

I need that after running some registry tweaks.

thank you

Compile your script to an Exe and then call it.

thank you

 

this is what I doing now

the .exe is runned by my .cmd file

but IF I can write only one line in the .cmd file

wich will do the same thing [refresh desktop]

will be better

its about some links I create on desktop silent

and I must do a refresh for viewing them

Does this work for you?:

DllCall("shell32.dll", "none", "SHChangeNotify", "long", 0x8000000, "uint", BitOR(0x0, 0x1000), "ptr", 0, "ptr", 0)

Running a compiled Exe IS a single line. So why would another oner-liner be better?

Just adding how i do it

Func _RefreshDesktop()
    RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "taskkill /f /im explorer.exe", "", @SW_HIDE) ; close desktop
    RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "start " & @WindowsDir & "\explorer.exe", "", @SW_HIDE) ; restart desktop
EndFunc   ;==>_RefreshDesktop
