Launching IE as an Object [RESOLVED]

[bat711]

In case anyone else is interested in this problem the only way to resolve it is to call the .EXE directly to create multiple IE processes. Any of the simpler object based ways only create multiple threads and one process.

Below is some code I made for this that finds the location of IExplore.exe through the registry and then launches a website. The registry module is attached.

Option Explicit
Const HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT = &H80000000
Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
Const HKEY_USERS = &H80000003
 
    ' Reg Key Security Options...
Const READ_CONTROL = &H20000
Const KEY_QUERY_VALUE = &H1
Const KEY_SET_VALUE = &H2
Const KEY_CREATE_SUB_KEY = &H4
Const KEY_ENUMERATE_SUB_KEYS = &H8
Const KEY_NOTIFY = &H10
Const KEY_CREATE_LINK = &H20
Const KEY_ALL_ACCESS = KEY_QUERY_VALUE + KEY_SET_VALUE + _
                       KEY_CREATE_SUB_KEY + KEY_ENUMERATE_SUB_KEYS + _
                       KEY_NOTIFY + KEY_CREATE_LINK + READ_CONTROL
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
 
Dim strSubKey As String
Dim strValueName As String
Dim AppPath As String
Dim AppPathLen As Integer
 
'Registry value locations
strSubKey = "SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\iexplore.exe\shell\open\command"
strValueName = ""
 
'Returning the application path back from registry
AppPath = RegGetValue$(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strSubKey, strValueName)
 
 
'Determining the length of the path
AppPathLen = Len(AppPath)
'Removing the " %1" from the end of the path
AppPath = Left(AppPath, AppPathLen - 3)
'Adding the site to be navigated to
AppPath = AppPath & " website"
 
'Launching IE
Shell AppPath, vbNormalFocus
 
End
End Sub
