hi,these ques might be a silly.. but i want to know in depth..
1) why do v refresh the system..? i dont mean the browsers which provide Refresh button to reload the page..
normally when one starts d system he would <bold>(Right Click->Refresh)</bold> refresh the desktop few times.. does this actually serve any purpose..??

2)i dont wish to waste a new thread,so posting it here..
also What is d purpose of registry(it would look funny

)..?? i know it can do lot of editing stuffs that can change customize the appearance of windows.. but y cant that be provide inside some folders(like Pgm files etc) which can be directly accessed to do d editing works.. When OS like Linux , Unix etc dont ave registry y does windows need registry..?? why cant they develop an OS (like linux) which doesnt ave registry..??

here is everything about registry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_registry
Please ask a linux user about the registry in linux

refresh is used just to redraw the display.Most people think that it frees ram and improves performance,but thats not the case.
eg-when you exit a game,the desktop may be partially discoloured,the refresh command will make it normal.
