Detecting IE windows/urls from script
Another question related to this:
I have a script , which needs to:
- make some system config changes to IE, with some instances of IE possible open
- detect all instances of IE and shut them down (no problem using
Shellapp.windows as below, and window.quit)
- restart IE using CreateObject("internetexplorer.application","ie_") and navigate to some url
Are there timing issues with shutting down and restarting IE so that IE config. changes
take effect?
Thanks,
- Mitch Gallant
