I have yet to find a way but what I do use is on my keyboard on lower right side there is a key next to the Ctrl key that when pressed while on desktop will bring up the normal right click menu where you can hit the refresh there.

I'm not sure of the syntax (I'm no programmer) but I'm fairly sure you could write a javascript (.js) file and link to it. I use them for Cascade Windows, Tile Windows Vertically and Tile Windows Horizontally

ie...open notepad type in the following and save with.js extension for Cascade Windows
(new ActivexObject("Shell.Application")).CascadeWindows()

You can press and hold down the CTRL key when you right click and that will bring up the normal menu also.

Doesn't work on mine...only the key next to the ctrl lower right. the key has pic of a menu with cursor pointer on it.

That's the "Context" menu key and only works (for the desktop menu) if the desktop is active. I don't know why your CTRL+RightClick doesn't work. It may have to do with the way some other program maps keys.

Cool. This helps a lot; I was tired of unloading RightClick just to refresh the desktop.

You could also press f5 for a fast refresh.
