In Vista you just hit the F5 for refresh

F5 is refresh in pretty much every Windows program I have ever worked with regardless of the Windows OS.

I know a quick shutdown shortcut...
Just press
WindowsKey+u+u and your computer will immediately shutdown.

here's another (maybe most of you know it already..

). pressing "WindowsKey+r" opens the RUN dialog from where you can run some programs. Also "WindowsKey+f" opens the search window from where you can search for files on your computer and also web pages.
and here's one
mind-blasting (and very needed many times!) shortcut. pressing "WindowsKey+m" minimizes all the open windows and shows your desktop.

tip: try pressing "WinKey" in combination with other keys and trust me you will find many others (grave secrets of windows.. hehehe)!
bye!

WHAT ABOUT SHORTCUT KEY FOR RIGHT CLICK
Shift + F10
On many keyboards there is also a single key for it that looks like a picture of a dropdown window.

did someone DELETE my post?!?
God "bless" him who did that!anyway, i'll tell you some shortcuts nevertheless...
pressing SHIFT while a CD inserted into the drive will NOT autoplay it.
another one is pressing "F2" while a file or drive is selected will make its name editable. so there's no need to right click it and select "Rename".

Windows+R !!!
Everything i do is from the run command! I utilize the system32 folder to create my own run shortcuts.

You place things in system32? Why not just create a directory and add it to your user path?
