<p>When you create a new folder under a shared folder on Windows Server 2012 you might experience slow refresh problems on Windows 7 clients that will not be able to see the newly created folder. Even with refresh of the folder view newly created folder won&#8217;t appear. It will appear automatically after several minutes.</p>
<p>If this slow refresh bothers you and slows you down in your work here&#8217;s what you can do:</p>
<p>Open <strong>regedit</strong> and navigate to the following key:</p>
<p><strong>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Lanmanworkstation\Parameters</strong></p>
<p>Create a new <strong>DWORD (32-bit) Value</strong></p>
<p><strong>DirectoryCacheLifetime</strong></p>
<p>Set the value to: <strong>0</strong></p>

<p>Have in mind that you&#8217;ll have to do this on each Windows 7 client.</p>
<p>If this doesn&#8217;t help you please add the following keys:</p>
<p><strong>DirectoryCacheLifetime = 0</strong></p>
<p><strong>FileNotFoundCacheLifetime = 0</strong></p>
<p><strong>FileInfoCacheLifetime = 0</strong></p>
<p>Reboot your client machine and check again.</p>
<p>Have in mind that you should always make a backup of registry and your machine when tampering with registry settings.</p>
<p>Hope this helps and feel free to leave a comment below.</p>
