I am not really sure if this is my vb fault or not. It's a very simple executable that shells an Internet explorer, hide it and then END.
The issue I am having is that, if I launch an IE application, then launch my exe, which should shell another IE, that IE reuses the already open IE application and open it as another tab. As the result my IE shows and is not hidden as it's supposed to. I wonder if this is just an IE tab setting? It's IE version 7.
It's a internet explorer setting.
Do you happen to know what setting it is?

Here is a little project I found that I made a while ago, it gives you the ability to control the tabs, which is a bit more tricky.
thank you but unfortunately, for this particular program, I have to use shell.Quote:

Is there a way to check if there's a running IE, do not open my application in that IE session/tab and make sure it has its own process?
Why can you only use Shell?
You will need API calls or use CreateObject() to get running pocessees.
Also did it work for you or not is it still only opening in tabs with the two of my codes in post #9?
