True for both INCLUDING 2000.

No argument.

Well presumably, they wouldn't know anything about a new app, before a
login cycle - I mean it's possible for folder refresh to include some
newly created shortcuts, but I suspect it's the least of peoples'
worries - whether existing sessions can access the changes.

A new app or change in app may require login script changes, or GPO
changes - which may take a while to refresh, anyways.
