Problem with Windows XP SP2 and VB.Net code

Blaxer

I am using the following code to open an instance of Internet Explorer with a
specific URL.

Dim Argument_String as String = "www.yahoo. com"
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\iexplo re.exe", Argument_String )

If I have the new XP SP2 IE pop-up blocker enabled the browser does not come
up at all, if I disable it it "pops-up" just fine. If I put, for example,
www.yahoo.com in the list of sites to not block pop-ups for it has no effect
and is still blocked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

TIA...

Are you sure? I didn't have any problem opening up an IE window with
www.yahoo.com as the argument with the IE Pop-up blocker set to the highest
level of blocking (block all; Ctrl to override) and no websites in the
'allowed sites' list.

Hi,

Try this instead.

Process.Start(www.yahoo.com)

You could uncheck the 'Reuse Windows for Launching Shortcuts' on the
Advanced tab in Internet Explorer Options.

Ouch, I may have spoke too soon here. It seems that although this code works it will "replace the url" of any instance of IE that is already running,
which for us is bad! Any ideas?

Thank you!

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
