Re: A question on Active Desktop

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

By doing a meta refresh, yes, but for our purposes it would have to
refresh at least every minute. This would be bad because:

- it would annoy the user as they might be in the middle of using it at
the time
- it would put too much load on our web server, database server and
network as this page is going to be viewed by hundreds of users
simultaneously

Another possibility would be to put the meta refresh in a hidden
iframe, which, if it detected a change of page is required, could then
cause the change, but again, this is ugly, complex and expensive.

Surely there must be some kind of API call to achieve this - after all
windows itself manages to "restart" the active desktop when you change
the settings manually through control panel.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!

Cheers,

Mike
