jeffw_00 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hi - I suspect the answer to this is out there but i can't figure out the right search terms. Sorry! My desktop runs Win 7 Home Premium. My laptop runs Win7 Pro. I have a laptop drive mapped to my desktop. Ever since I updated my desktop to Win 7 from WinXP, I have this problem. When I create/move files on the laptop, I can't see them from the desktop for quite a while (half hour? Maybe more). I've tried refreshing, opening an new explorer window, etc. It's just not updating. They do show up, so it's not a security issue, it just seems to use a stale file view... thoughts? Thanks! /j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Yes, that was interesting, Fran. I have my Win 7 on my main system linked up with my Win 7 on my laptop. For me, changes in either are reflected immediately on the other machine. That info you posted is good to know, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Yep, probably 95% of the time that's the case Eric. But there are some computers that for some reason, just don't conform and you can't whip them into behaving and need some specialized tools to bend their will.
