• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

I'm using Vista 32 bit. For file management using Windows Explorer - is there a keyboard shortcut for the "Refresh" command....the way I have explorer set up it would make things faster and less complicated for me. I've looked but can't find a shortcut for this command.
 
F5 should work for refresh, just like it does in Internet Exploder. Most of the same shortcut keys for IE also work on WindowsExplorer/MyComputer.
I use it frequently in XP...looks like it works on my 7 rig too (but I really haven't noticed the need to refresh as much with 7).

Here's a MS Technet article with the common shortcut keys. Most of these have been around for years...I think we're just so "dummied" into point-n-click mode that most people just don't use em.
Now, why can't they put stuff like this right up front in the Windows built-in help files! :) Or at least advertise the shortcut key by the command on the menu list.

Yeah...this old DOS boy finds some things easier than chasing all over the place with a mouse. As you say it should really be in the help files...thank again MM.
