Hi,
F5 is for Refresh not for Search, what version of Windows are you using?.

I am using XP. The link you provided is not useful. F5 does "shortcut" to
windows search. Everytime I press F5 it throws me out onto desktop and
enters window search. It does NOT resfresh anything.

Then something is wrong with your computer. It would have been better if
you had started the thread by saying that when you press F5, you get the
above unwanted behavior. None of us could guess why you wanted to do
this from your first post. F5 normally does a refresh, just like nass said.

Since we don't know anything about your computer or its recent history,
I can only give you some general suggestions.

1. Ask yourself The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed
between the time things worked and the time they didn't?

2. Does the problem occur with a different keyboard? If not, discard the
original keyboard.

3. Do you have third-party hotkey software? If so, perhaps uninstalling
it would be useful or changing its options.

After you've gone over those things, take a look at this link which will
help you craft your next newsgroup post if you want more help:

If you have a shortcut on your desktop to search then that can be the reason.
Search your Documents and settings folder for *.lnk files and open properties of
each search shortcut and remove the "Shortcut Key" of shortcut.

Or use this JavaScript. Save it as .js and run it-

ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
fs=new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
tmpPh=ws.SpecialFolders("StartMenu")+"\\"+fs.GetTempName()+".lnk"
sc=ws.CreateShortcut(tmpPh);sc.Hotkey="F5";sc.Save();
sc=ws.CreateShortcut(tmpPh);sc.Hotkey="";sc.Save();
fs.DeleteFile(tmpPh)



Good Luck, Ayush.
