Found this on LifeHacker this morning, made me think of when Brian lamented the lack of a refresh in Finder.

Mac OS X only: Freeware tool Refresh Finder lets you add a Safari-like refresh button to your Finder window.

Die-hard Mac owners might think Tiger’s automatic refresh should render this irrelevant, but there are times when Finder’s auto-refresh just doesn’t do the trick - especially with mounted networked drives. Rather than having to hit back and forward, or worse yet, rather than requiring you to unmount and remount a network drive, you should be able to just click the Refresh Finder button, which runs a very simple Applescript and refreshes the folder you’re looking at. Refresh Finder is freeware, Mac OS X only. To install, move to your Applications folder, then just drag the refresh icon directly onto your Finder toolbar.
