SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to refresh a Web page using Internet Explorer, the Web page may not be refreshed.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you open a Web page from a link within an Active Desktop item that includes the  Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) heading tag.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, open the Web page in a new instance of Internet Explorer, or right-click the HTML link in Internet Explorer and then click Open Link In New Window.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
When you click a link on an Active Desktop item that uses the  HTML tag, the Web page opens in the same window instead of in a new one. When you attempt to refresh the Web page by right-clicking an empty area on the desktop and then clicking Refresh, the original Web page is displayed.
