Close + restore IE
I am developing an Internet Explorer plugin (explorer bar) and I would like the installer to do the following:
- detect if IE is running and show this to the user
- close all IE windows
- after installation open IE in the state it was

I found out how to close all IE windows, but now I don't know how to do the last part. Can anyone help me on this one?


Grtz,

Basically if do you mean open the current page, before is close, you'll have to do some magic tricks to subclass IE process to get the current page, I remember that it was a registry entry, but yet...don't remember well...
But, for re-open IE, you'll have to Exec iexplore
