Sorry about that I had an instance of ie running in the background that was version 0 didn't see the problem tell this morining when my computer started to not work. it should be hwnds[1] should be hwnds[0]. I woud enumerate them like in the code below.
If you have ie as your default browser you can use a shellExecute(0,None,"some url here", None, None, 1) To open directley to that page. Here is a more complete script: import win32api, time from win32com.client import Dispatch a = win32api.ShellExecute(0,None,"iexplore.exe", "www.ishpeck.net",None,1) b = win32api.ShellExecute(0,None,"iexplore.exe", "www.google.com",None,1) internetExplorerClassIdentity='{9BA05972-F6A8-11CF-A442-00A0C90A8F39}' hwnds = Dispatch(internetExplorerClassIdentity) # way I showed you before dosn't work verry well if more then one ie is open #ieObj = hwnds[0] #ieObj.Navigate("http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=python") time.sleep(30) for i in range(hwnds.Count): ....if hwnds[i].LocationURL.lower().find("ishpeck") > -1: ........ieObj1 = hwnds[i] ....if hwnds[i].LocationURL.lower().find("google") > -1: ........ieObj2 = hwnds[i] ieObj1.Navigate("http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=python") ieObj2.Navigate("http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/ba1395566452dba6/343672a01d5b2cdc?hl=en#343672a01d5b2cdc") -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
