I remember that when the editor was still in elementary school, I first encountered a computer in the computer room of the microcomputer class of the school. At that time, the operating system of the computer was still windows98 . From a point of view, it is considered an "antique level" system, but since then, I have seen countless times when others use the computer and click the "refresh" item on the right-click menu of the Windows desktop. As for all these years, I have gradually been infected with this behavior invisibly, from time to time and unconsciously performing such operations, from Windows98, XP, 7...10. I remember it very clearly at the time. I also asked my friends, what is the use of this refresh? And my childhood playmate gave me the answer: After clicking refresh, the computer will become faster. . . In this way, I firmly followed him continuously and repeatedly to refresh, and I didn’t find out where the computer has become faster. And now we have grown up, I also understand this accompanying The "refresh" that countless of us have grown up means, so I think it is necessary to write an article to clarify it. I don't want our children to be as naive as we used to think that clicking refresh will make the computer faster.
In fact, the Windows system help defines refresh as: refresh is used to update the display information of the current data. This definition may not be understood by most people. Let’s take an example to illustrate this definition: Xiaobian opens a folder on the computer, and then downloads a movie to the newly created folder in the browser. At this time, we will It is found that there is no such movie in the folder, and at this time, if we execute the refresh command on this folder, we can see the movie.
refresh behavior on the desktop,In fact, it also plays the role of refreshing the display information of the current file, because the desktop itself is also a folder (in the desktop folder in the user account folder under the system disk), but this folder is more special, so we are Clicking refresh on the desktop is actually the same as clicking refresh in the folder. Refreshing on the desktop does not have much effect, but in my opinion, the reason why many people refresh madly Habits can only be said to be a common habit. The computer is left there and there is nothing to do, holding the mouse in the hand has no purpose to do, click on the icon to run the program, empty the desktop without any reflection, and feel uncomfortable. So you can only use refresh, which is the operation that least affects other things and can bring some reflections. As for the popular views of "refreshing is refreshing the system", "can clear memory space", "speeding up system response", etc. They are all groundless and can only mislead beginners.
