What is the main purpose of refresh in windows?

+1  A: 

While refresh has a lot of contexts, it can:

  • Reload a web page and not use the cache
  • Update the view of the current window with the latest data not in cache
  • Force a repaint

Basically, refresh is supposed to give you the freshest view possible of whatever data you're looking at.

That's a non-programming question, and must be in superuser.com.

Anyway, to answer your question. Refresh renews all information (icons, text, etc) on the windows selected or at the desktop.
