The solution below obviously fixes the issue of flickering desktop icons when you open a word, or excel document from the desktop of a redirected folders environment:
add NoRemoteChangeNotify registry entry(REG_DWORD) to/with value 1 in below location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
But .................. and a BIG but ....
It creates another issue with mapped drives. We have applications that write data to the UNC path of the mapped drive. Obviously with the fix mentioned above the file does not appear in the mapped drive location without pressing F5. Because the functionality of our applications rely on the respective file being present, pressing F5 is not a workable solution.
What else can I do, is there some kind of function, script, GPO or registry entry that will continuously take care of mapped drive refreshes?
Thanks in advance.
