accessing browser from windows form

[Joe Van Meer]

Hi All,

How would I go about accessing all the currently running browsers on users
system via a windows form app, to for example, to refresh a page? Is this
possible? I have used the diagnostics library to get all instances of the
iexplore processes but am lost as to how to get each browser so I can
manipuldate some of the properties?

Cheers & thanks! Joe :)

You may want to check out 'ShellWindows' which maybe can used to archieve
what you want:
