It's been a while since I've had to do this but this should work:

Dim myShell
Set myShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
myShell.SendKeys "^m"
Set myShell = Nothing

Depending on where/how you run this you might have problems with the
WScript. Also, as everyone noted before, sending keystrokes to an
application might often fail. If a page takes a long time to open your
keystrokes might get "lost". You might want to pad some "pause" time into
your script, as a just in case. Just a warning. Good luck!
