I built a launcher that uses ShellExecute() to load a hidden web page, with the users default browser. The problem im having is since it doesn't return the process handle or nothing. We end up with a process idling in the background. Is there any way to return a handle and close this process that would work on a global scale across all web browsers?

I'm thinking you are completely misled, and will have some serious explaining to do to Jon once he reads my pm. Anyways thanks for the free bumps.
