Nope. WheelWatcher scans environment for this variable upon its entry and
sets the appropriate flag in dataseg, but the watching thread starts
anyway. I guess this flag is used only not to process / display the
DosResetChangeNotify's results. I have to explore pmwp.dll more to say what
exactly this flag affects.

I've set AUTOREFRESHFOLDERS=NO (you may use 'N' instead of 'NO',
WheelWatcher checks only first letter to be 'n' or 'N') in my config.sys
but my test program still does not work while wps is running. And when I
reboot to command line it works fine.

Sorry, don't understand. I can read either in English or in Russian only :-)

Bye!
