how to open Ie and close it after some seconds and repeat it forever

[gerly]

Hello to all the people over here;

i'm a new user (from today) of this tools.

I'd like to open each hour internet explorer with an url and after 20 seconds I'd like to close it

I tryed this

Run('C:\Program files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE "http://www.google.it/search?hl=eng&q=test"')

WinWait("test","Done")

sleep (20000)

while WinExists

if winexists("test","") then winclose("test","")

wend

what happen is that internet eplorer is quickly open and never closed.

How to force to close internet explorer?

How to force to repeat this code each hour?

Best regards to all.

I don't know about the hour thing but this works

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
While 1
Run('C:\Program files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE "http://www.google.it/search?hl=eng&q=test"')
sleep (20000)
If WinExists("test") then
WinClose("test")
EndIf
wend

this should be a little more flexible, b/c it doesn't care about the name of the window

#include <IE.au3>
while 1
$oIE = _IECreate()
    _IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.google.it/search?hl=eng&q=test")
    _IELoadWait ($oIE)
    Sleep(3600000)
_IEQuit ($oIE)
sleep(100)
WEnd

leave the sleep(100) in there to give the comp a little time between starting up a new IE, b/c often it will start a new one before the old one is closed and it will get confused for about 1 round
