[RESOLVED] Opening websites,invisible to the user

[uniquegodwin]

Hello,
Can someone help me with this..
I want to open some 5 websites...yahoo.com,google.com,etc etc one after another....But I want it to be done invisible to the user.Any ideaS?

process.start("http://something.com") works fine on a forloop too...but it pops up infront of the user.I want this to happen invisible...

Please give me your ideas on how to do that guys...

Thanks,

Before I would want to give any information, I would want to know why you would want to open multiple websites on a users PC without them knowing about it.

I am sorry but that sounds somewhat malicious

Im with you Kleinma...Nor would I personally install anything that opens a website
or starts a process without me knowing about it!

Hi Kleinnma,
Thanks for the support,
Well,Im also wth you....
But,I frankly have a question...people ask how to delete files,rename files..write into registry,disable ctrl alt del,append text into a file,etc etc etc...So many questions....Aren't they all malicious? Can't they be used maliciously? To make malicious code,can't I quickly do a search here within VBF...find code to search,rename,delete files and make something destructive if that was my intention?
Im just asking...I wonder in what way these security measures help to stop a person who is trying to make malicious code?

ok,nevermind Kleinma..I understand you ask for security reasons....ill explain why i need that...Its because Im creating an sms software.It uses an external service to sms...It takes the list of users to sms from a listbox and puts their name like....http://smsipaddress/asomething.aspx?...&?message=blah

So like if there are 10 recipents..I need to substitute their number on the url and send the message.So Is it clear now guys?
Thanks a million

Neither would I personally want you to install without me knowing it because im not giving you the whole thing i make anyway.This is for my company where Im doing internship..Im stuck in this part..so I asked for help..I never forced you to install brother.Cool it

Dim Website As New Net.WebClient
        Dim ioStream As New IO.StreamReader(Website.OpenRead("http:\\www.yahoo.com"))
        Debug.Print(ioStream.ReadToEnd)
