Applying desktop folder changing

Question

Sign in to vote
Hi all. I need to dynamically change desktop folder in my C# program) but only solution that I could find to apply such registry changes is killing explorer.exe and waiting while system restart it. But after killing explorer some tray icons disappear, tasks order in taskbar becomes inverted, problems with language switching occurs and so on.
Tweak UI utility change desktop folder without killing explorer or restarting system, it only need to right click on desktop and refresh it to see result. Does anybody know how to apply desktop folder registry changes like Tweak UI do it, without killing explorer or restarting system?

Since you need to notify the Windows Shell, I suggest you ask in the microsoft.public.platformsdk.shell newsgroup.
Don't think you need help in using Visual C# or understanding C#'s syntax.
