Re: Open new Internet Explorer window in a new process

I guess I should add that the issue I need to solve is when there is
already an IE process running. If one is not running, CoCreateInstance
creates a new one. However, if one is running, it just creates the new
IE window in the same process, which is what I don't want to happen.

Hi Peter,

When you say that you get a "new instance", do you mean a new process
is created? If so, that's what I'm looking for! I figured out how to
implement things using CreateProcess, however doing it that way I am
unable to connect to the DWebBrowserEvents2 event sink interface, which
I need to do.

Hi,

You can use "CreateProcess" and launch iexplore.exe process with the url
as argument.
Be sure to check all the arguments as well as the process launched, it
may be a security hole if the process is badly launched.

Actually I find it odd that a new instance of IE is not created for
Nathan.

When I test

hr = ::CoCreateInstance (CLSID_InternetExplorer, NULL, CLSCTX_SERVER,
IID_IWebBrowser2, (void**)ppWebBrowser2);

on my computer, it nicely opens a new instance of IE.

Do you really use CreateProcess for opening a new instance of IE?

Could this problem Nathan is having be due to a setting in IE or fixed
in a SP or OS depedent (I've tested on XP SP2 and Win2K SP4).
