I saw it before on a computer at school but sadly I failed to find out how to achieve it.
I want to make Windows Explorer read the Registry changes I made instantly without needing to re-log in or killing the explorer.exe process then start it again. I saw it at a unit at school before, one of the teacher was asking us how to show the hidden Folder Options in Windows Explorer via the Registry. I tweaked the registry and was about to log out when I noticed that the changes I made already took effect instantly and that Folder Options was already shown even before Windows Explorer was restarted.
Now I have a problem wherein I want to have that same setup on my own computer. As I said, I failed to investigate what tweak was on the unit at school that made it read the tweaks instantly.
1this is the default behaviour isn't it? I notice registry changes immediately upon making the edit using regedit, I don't have to log out and in again. Unless something is being cached... – Sam Holder – 2010-10-28T09:31:12.230
Most registry changes take effect immediately, some do require a reboot, log off or explorer restart. – Moab – 2010-10-28T16:35:50.083
