Launch new instance of IE??

[Brad Melendy]

Hi,
How can I launch a new instance of IE from VB.net 2005? Currently, I am
using System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt to open a URL but it always takes
control of an existing instance of the web browser. I've tried specifying
the full path and executable name of IEXPLORE.EXE but when I do so, I just
get an error. Thanks for any suggestions.

....Brad

Thanks so much, the link you provided worked great! The error was rather
generic and when I clicked on DETAILS it just had a bunch of low lever
system stuff I couldn't understand. Thanks again!

Brad,

I am not so glad with this message from Herfried, it was a part of a
discussion, now it stands there if my message is corrected by Herfried and
stand there on its own.

See here the complete discussion thread.

http://groups.google.de/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb/browse_thread/thread/522f2e8e4a78ded5/b4776ad5c96af95c#b4776ad5c96af95c

It started with an answer from Ken which was more than enough as answer to
the question. (Ken forgot the quotes but that was obvious in my idea.)

Huh?! My answer perfectly solves the OP's problem, so I don't see where you
are seeing the problem...

Took me a bit to understand what Cor meant. The link you posted, Herfried,
was a link to a "corrected" version of something Cor posted. Yes, it
answers the OP, but the content of the link you provided also makes it look
almost bad for Cor because it's a correction of a single post instead of the
entire thread.

Basically, he believes you should have posted the link to the entire thread
(including the OP and replies) instead of just the single post you
made...that's all :)
