Terminating hidden process if URL changed in WebBrowser Control

i'd like all documents to be shown within my app.
i open them with webbrowser control.
the control start running a needed application (for example, ms word) but doesn't terminate its process after URL changed (for a *.xls or another file).
how to close this invisible application or show needed docs w/out webbrowser in the frame of my app?

can you maybe clarify what you are doing??? someone types a URL into a browser and it loads up the application? what do you need a browser for to open excel and word documents?

in fact i don't know what type of file i would need to open.
incoming document may be in any possible format.
of cause i can call this or that app depanding on file extension.
but as i wrote i need the doc/xls/pdf/jpg/tiff/html/... to be shown ON MY FORM (like in OLE container).
i don't know how can i show ANY file on the form that's why i use webbrowser as a universal viewer. isn't it correct? pls advise.
