I figured a much quicker way to access the scripts. But only usefull on XP I think, paste both the scripts into links eg. "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME HERE\Favorites\Links" then right click on the area with the back button etc select links and move in such a way that suites you and then you can get to them at anytime you want by just clicking on them. It's harder to explain in text..hopefully VG can illustrate this for everyone

Back when I had XP x86 I found this app that added a context menu entry that did this and refreshed. With x64 I use a hotkey (on my G11) and a vbs script that I found that toggles the key. You can add a link to the .reg files, or to a .bat that calls the .reg silently from the context menu or make a simple AutoHotkey/AutoIT script that launches the change key and then waits a few secs, activates the window and then refreshes.

It has been tested in Windows XP, Vista and 7. It should work in almost all Windows versions. You'll need to refresh the Explorer to apply the changes. Sometimes you may need to right-click and select "Refresh" option if pressing F5 doesnt work.
