Interesting Windows Event
Posted: Mon Jun 19, 2006 2:15 am
On my Windows XP Media Center PC, Service Pack 2, Version 2002 (Per system info), I was viewing a remote shared directory via Samba. It was showing a million hidden files so I clicked tools, folder options and unchecked show hidden files.
I'm really not sure how Windows works under the hood as I have never studied it. I guess it uses API calls?
Anyway windows sent a refresh signal to all the open windows and the desktop, but the interesting thing is that Internet Explorer responded to the refresh request and refreshed a web page that I had open.
I would have not noticed had it not been on a form. Internet Explorer asked me for confirmation that I wanted to resend the post data.
Weird eh?
