No automatic update of explorer after file renaming

When I rename a file in the explorer, the new file name is not displayed
automatically, only after pressing F5. Also, when I delete a file, the
explorer is not updated automatically, again I have to press F5 to get
the current view. The same happens when I create a new file (by means of
a right-click).

This behavior happens only for a particular user. For the other users,
the explorer behaves normally.

What is wrong?

Actually this is a common problem which most people deal with by manually
refreshing. There is a registry edit that will speed up the refresh rate but
it only sometimes works (Google it to find).

You might want to try using 2xExplorer, which I feel it the best Windows
Explorer replacement. 2xExplorer is extremely fast and does not bog down
with hundreds of deletions or hundreds of directory creations.
