File view refresh setting?

[Joeslogic]

My pc has got to where it likes to do a folder refresh every few seconds. This is extreamly annoying. Anyone know if this is a setting that has changed?

In other words when I'm in my music folder and there are a few thousand files. I'm trying to organize them better and when the folder list refreshes wherever I have scrolled to goes back to the beginning. But this really seems to happen in any folder not just the music folder.

You gotta push Alt+F4 to turn that off :P

Take the tipped-over Jack Daniels bottle off the F5 key...? :?

So nobody said try rebooting I thought next to add more ram that was the general fix for everything.

I just know it is extremely annoying.

People are too soft handed with their computers now-days. Roll up a news paper and show it who's boss!

If that doesn't work, I'd add some RAM and then restart the bitch, and maybe make a blood sacrifice to a potentialy sympathetic deity of your chosing.

bleach will fix it, if you are too jewish to invest $50 for ram... just pour no more than one US gallon into the tower, then turn on

Yeah I guess I'm to Jewish this box uses rambus memory and it has 512Mb I keep my background process down to a minimum. Actually I fixed it. Was a shotgun approach and I'm to lazy to figure out the specifics but I believe it had to do with the virus software in the background.

Next time I buy memory it will be for the Media center PC but who knows when that will be. Drooling over these cases today (http://www.xoxide.com/htpc-cases.html)

yeah you remind me of a Joe Einstienburg type

Those are some badass cases... I'm assuming the LCD display shows track information, etc? How does it interface with the PC? I'd like to get something like that for my next living room PC...

[Joeslogic]

Yeah I looked at that one apparently its a typical computer display. Could use windows media player to view your tracks on it. Then have an additional TV tuner card to go out to the TV. Would be a sweet deal. Problem is I have not been impressed with any of the tuner cards I've used which is the ATI All In Wonder, and this other cheep one I had. While lack of definition is one thing my main complaint is the software interface not working with my cable service channel selection.

Plus that baby was 600.00 wasn't it?

[Joeslogic]
