Here's an example...

static class Program {     [DllImport("user32.dll")]     public static extern int SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);      [STAThread]     static void Main()     {         while(true)         {             Process [] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName("iexplore");              foreach(Process proc in processes)             {                 SetForegroundWindow(proc.MainWindowHandle);                 SendKeys.SendWait("{F5}");             }              Thread.Sleep(5000);         }     } } 

a better one... less anoying...

static class Program {     const UInt32 WM_KEYDOWN = 0x0100;     const int VK_F5 = 0x74;      [DllImport("user32.dll")]     static extern bool PostMessage(IntPtr hWnd, UInt32 Msg, int wParam, int lParam);      [STAThread]     static void Main()     {         while(true)         {             Process [] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName("iexplore");              foreach(Process proc in processes)                 PostMessage(proc.MainWindowHandle, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_F5, 0);              Thread.Sleep(5000);         }     } }
