How to launch a URL in a existing session of IE?
You're kidding, right???
I heard rumors a long time ago that NS6 was supposed to expose an externally
scriptable object model, but I have no idea if that ever really happened or
even if my recollection is anywhere near being correct at all. Even if it
did, it wouldn't be in the Shell.Application's Windows collection.
