How to refresh Windows Explorer in C?
I have code to change the icon of a drive. However, if the user already has Windows Explorer open, he won't see the change unless he refreshes the view with F5.
How do I force Windows Explorer to refresh?
Since I want to refresh the drive icon, the only view I want to refresh is "My Computer". So, there is no way to delete or create a dummy file there. Any other suggestions?

A trick that often works is to have your C program attempt to delete a file in the desired folder that doesn't actually exist. This should cause Windows Explorer to refresh. If that doesn't work, have your C program create a temporary file in the desired directory, then delete it.
