CTRL + F5

[XtremeMaC]

Hi there

I was browsing through the web, at one point a page didn't work and I emailed the admin to ask what on earth was wrong. he said nothing just press ctrl + F5, and it worked.

now I've been using F5 to refresh but now i'm wondering what ctrl + f5 does?

googleing a little advanced me to "refresh server cache" but I'm not totally convinced with that answer

Thanks...

Yes, holding CTRL while refreshing the page will force IE to ignore any cached files and re-download the page. I use it every once in a while, like if I'm fiddling with my proxy or something.
