F5 refreshes. It does not display Properties for the highlighted file / item.

OP was "editing metadata on music files," so I assume he was bringing-up file properties.

Doh, I assumed he was talking about Firefox

The one on the right.

Usually simulates a right-click on whichever screen item has keyboard focus.

That key is not on any keyboards I own

I knew about windows + pause, but Ctrl+ScrollLock with a -t ping is actually pretty useful. Thanks for sharing.

i agree. i actually have a ping going on, so it was rather useful.

Hold Windows key + e for about 10 seconds. Awesome things happen.

A single Explorer window popped up. I guess they fixed that in Windows 7 (or Vista).

Ditto on my Win7 x64 system. I can press "E" repeatedly while holding [Win] and get lots of Explorer windows.

It's on pretty much any 104-key keyboard (those with a Windows/Home key) including the one pictured in your link.

My Model M doesn't have it either.

Was it made before 1995 or something?

Yup. The one I'm currently using is from 91 if I remember right.

The IBM Model M is a 101 key standard ATX keyboard.
The other one on that link is some weird kind of windows keyboard with 104 keys... Made by Unicomp.

Also, my keyboards aren't very old, the one I'm using is almost new, from 1995, barely 17 years old ... I am pretty sure I have an even newer one at home!

I have literally never used the menu key

I remember telling people that. "Just hit control alt delete delete"

The second delete would do a reboot lol. Though when in a situation where you had to use ctrl+alt+del, chances are you did have to reboot anyway. Windows may be more bloated today, but it does work a bit better.

I have it assigned as a shift key to turn on desktop effects for Compiz. I've never used it in the traditional sense.
