Solution to flashing explorer directory tree on XP network found

[rickmcq@-xx-oco.net]

A week ago I asked if anyone knew why my windows explorer directory
tree was flashing every 2 seconds whle viewing a XP machine on a XP
Home edition network. No one answered so I guess nobody knew why or
what a fix would be.

While browsing Kellys Korner website looking for anything that could
be a fix I noticed a reg hack that stopped automatic icon refresh, or
something like that (disablerefresh.reg). On a hunch I tried it and
it fixed my problem

So, Kelly, even though it's not specifically mentioned as a network
annoyance fix it stopped my problem and I appreciate it.
