How to issue command F5 from my installer to refresh Windows Desktop
My installer built with the help of NSIS and with the help of this forum community is running fine but there is one hitch which I want to remove it. I make my installation folder a shared one from my installer. Sometimes it requires
the user to press F5 to refresh the screen after installation is complete to view the Installation folder as
shared one. How can I issue this F5 command automatically from my installer?

The ${RefreshShellIcons} function included with NSIS as the FileFunc.nsh should do the trick.

For usage instructions, look in your NSIS help files for:
E.1.21 RefreshShellIcons

Thanks for your quick response. I'm sorry for such belated thanks! Actually I've been to some other projects and training and didn't had the time to look into NSIS forum.
