When using a DFS Share, Explorer sometimes requires a manual refresh when new files are created within the share.

Workaround: Create DWord value "NoSimpleNetIDList" = 1 in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer


.REG File

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:00000091
"DisablePersonalDirChange"=dword:00000001
"NoSimpleNetIDList"=dword:00000001
