Batch command to refresh desktop

I have created a batch command that runs everytime a user signs up in a terminal server, it maps drives and calls an HTML file.  The problem I am having is that once the batch file ends, the icons on the desktop are not being refreshed, the user has to manually press F5.  Is there a way to refresh the desktop with a command rather than having the user press F5?

Thanks,

Jackie

First, I would suggest that you use scripts instead of batch files for this.  Scripts are significantly more powerful than batch files, especially inside the Windows environment.  In a script you could send the F5 keystroke or actually call the refresh method.
