if you are trying to find one to close it.. here is a small script that justin posted a little while ago on the forums to do this..


Function CloseItDammit 
   Push $0 
   loop: 
      FindWindow $0 "" "WhateverMyWindowNameIs" 
      IntCmp $0 0 done 
         SendMessage $0 16 0 0 
         Sleep 100 
      Goto loop 
   done: 
   Pop $0 
FunctionEnd

if you want to do other things you can use SendMessage to send different types of messages. this comes in very useful if you wish to click buttons etc..

find the window but can not close it.
I try to to close IE.
The "find an IE" message will show up.
But can not close it. Why?
The code is as following:

; CloseIE
; Closes all running instances of IE
; modifies no other variables
Function CloseIE
Push $0
loop:
FindWindow $0 "IEFrame"
IntCmp $0 0 done
MessageBox MB_OK "find an IE."
SendMessage $0 16 0 0
Sleep 1000
MessageBox MB_OK "close IE."
Goto loop
done:
MessageBox MB_OK "IE Check complete"
Pop $0
FunctionEnd

Thanks.
