Just a couple of points.

Whining that you haven’t received a response doesn’t go down
well. Everyone on here volunteers their time and responses, there is
no obligation on anyone to answer anything. Also, your timing isn’t
good. The majority of people on this list are in the US. Your first
post was at a time after those people have generally left work and
your second when they are asleep.

Another point, questions that refer to hooks are generally shunned on
this list for various reasons - see archives.

As for your question, in its current form it is meaningless. The
“refresh” in Explorer, just like any other user mode application is
button. Buttons get processed by a windows message and it’s probably
a different message value in each application. The user mode
application will call its own proprietary code when it receives the
right message.

Why do you think there is a specific “refresh” function ? Why do you
think you can hook it ?

Try restating your problem regarding what you are trying to achieve
and you may get a useful answer.

First of all, what you want to do can’t be done from a driver. Secondly,
don’t hook. Finally,
browser helper objects (BHO’s) are not only for Internet Explorer, they
can also be made to work with
Windows Explorer. I’m pretty sure you could capture and manipulate the
‘Refresh’ action within one.

IF you mean detecting when Explorer enumerates the contents of the
directory, you can register for
IRP_MJ_DIRECTORY_CONTROL/IRP_MN_QUERY_DIRECTORY.

Why do you want to detect it? What are you trying to achieve?

A Shell Extension might be suitable.
