    Question Is Explorer Open?

    How do you find out if explorer is open using API's?

    I've tried using GetObject but I want to avoid using this because I'd need to install an ActiveX on the machine I'm installing to, which I don't want to do.

    Thanks in advance

    Well, doesn't matter.
    VB Code:
    1. 'Add a [b]REFERENCE[/b] to Microsoft Internet Control, [b]NOT[/b]

    2. 'Add components

    3. Dim Sws As New ShDocVW.ShellWindows

    4. If Sws.Count Then MsgBox "An explorer window is running."
