Thanks Guys, that would probably be the problem. I tried it on Win2K, I'll give it a run on XP today. Thanks for the replies, Appreciated.

I'm not sure what I am missing here, but I have tried running this script and I get the following errors: Title: Windows Cript Host Error: Name Redefined. Code: 800A0411 Source: VBScript compilation error. The next error is: Could not laocate automation class named "SAPI.SpVoice" Source: WScript.CreateObject. Can someone give me an idea of what I may be missing. Thanks

This what I did on Win2K, haven't yet tested it on Win XP. MouseClick("Left", 0, 0) Send("{F5}") It works, as long as the desktop is the active screen, sends the mouse pointer to the very top left of the desktop where there shouldn't be any shortcuts, then sends the Function 5 key (refresh)
