How to remotely refresh a toolbar ?

You have to activate the toolbar first for ctrl-f5 to work - TLB Settings/Toolbar/Activate Toolbar hotkey

You can then use vbscript sendkeys to do the refresh:

dim gws
set gws = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

gws.sendkeys ActivateToolbarHotkey
wscript.sleep 20
gws.sendkeys ""^{F5}"
