Today I found an annoying Bug in Windows 7 (Win7 Professional x86).
When a user try to Create / Delete/ Move any file from the Desktop, it still shows at desktop and when the user press F5 , it instantly appears/disappears, seems like windows Explorer auto refresh not working properly.
This resolved the issue for me:
Go to
Tools / Folder Options / General Tab,
and at the bottom, in the ‘Navigation Pane‘, make sure ‘Show all folders‘ and ‘Automatically expand to current folder‘ are checked.
As showed in the image below . . .
.
.
Another alternate method contributed by user…
Open explorer –> right click on Documents –> in the documents library pane click the Restore Defaults button –> click Apply

Tried almost every suggestion on the net,but nothing helped solving my specific problem.
After spending several hours myself this fixed it for me:
Open explorer –> right click on Documents –> in the documents library pane click the Restore Defaults button –> click Apply
Problem solved 🙂

No. none worked.
But open task manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL), in Process tab right+click explorer.exe and terminate. Now choose File > run write explorer or explorer.exe. Et voilá! Working.
