Allen your 'desktop refresh' works pretty slick, thanks




Hmmm... I thought I had tried the updated code by you and Allen, but it appears I was using a cached older version from our MSN sharing Benny.

Just copied / pasted the current code you have posted here with the updates from Allen

$=SetFocus("Program Manager")
$=SendKeys("{F5}")


But the form is no longer working correctly period.
The image ghost does now happen on my work system but the refresh does not remove it.
In fact the code with the white lettering doesn't even show up on my screen until I do some other window interaction items, as though once it's lost focus the timer stops or something.
