Well, I guess the IE session executed via Run will get the focus, and therefore could be identified with WinExist("A") quite easily

The iexplore.exe must be a launcher or something, where the PID does not work. I tried it with the full path of internet explorer, with success. The full path on my computer is "C:\Programme\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE". Then getting the pid from IE is working.

and if tabs are enabled in IE and the new window opens as a tab instead of window its not just the title that changes but the available content

I had that in mind, but didn't tested it :roll:. Looks like once you start IE from the environment/path it won't deliver the PID, while with a given (static) path it succeeds.

Quote:
If Target is a local file and no path was specified with it, A_WorkingDir will be searched first. If no matching file is found there, the system will search for and launch the file if it is integrated ("known"), e.g. by being contained in one of the PATH folders.


Quote:
The variable will be made blank if the PID could not be determined, which usually happens if a system verb, document, or shortcut is launched rather than a direct executable file

Oh yea, with full path works.
But strange is that notepad.exe dont need full path to get PID.

Thank You all
