that is an IE preference - Tools - Internet options - Advanced - Reuse Windows for launching shortcuts.

Alternately, Activate the window, Send !d, send the new address, send {enter}

Thanks Smile

The first method don't work for me, but the second one I am sure will work. I thought I would have to use that COM IEControl.ahk stuff for it. But I didn't understand how it worked, if I want to control an IE instance.

Isn't there a run command for this? Something like:

Code:
Run, Internet Explorer, URL

I didn't try it yet, but from the command line iexplore.exe url opens a new window always, and I am trying to write to the good old window.

Only problem with
Code:

end !d
Send file:///t:/tmp/preview.htm
Send {Enter}


is that it is writting the address very slow, it looks animated.

try a different sendmode, change SetKeyDelay, or put the address on the clipboard and paste it.

Try this, need the standard library COM.ahk.
Code:
sURL :=   "http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/"
COM_CoInitialize()
If Not   pweb := GetWebBrowser()
   ExitApp
COM_Invoke(pweb, "Navigate", sURL)
;COM_Invoke(pweb, "Navigate", sURL, 0x1)   ; navOpenInNewWindow
/*   IE7 Only!
COM_Invoke(pweb, "Navigate", sURL, 0x800)   ; navOpenInNewTab
COM_Invoke(pweb, "Navigate", sURL, 0x1000)   ; navOpenInBackgroundTab
*/
COM_Release(pweb)
COM_CoUninitialize()
Return

GetWebBrowser()
{
   ControlGet, hIESvr, hWnd, , Internet Explorer_Server1, ahk_class IEFrame
   If Not   hIESvr
      Return
   DllCall("SendMessageTimeout", "Uint", hIESvr, "Uint", DllCall("RegisterWindowMessage", "str", "WM_HTML_GETOBJECT"), "Uint", 0, "Uint", 0, "Uint", 2, "Uint", 1000, "UintP", lResult)
   DllCall("oleacc\ObjectFromLresult", "Uint", lResult, "Uint", COM_GUID4String(IID_IHTMLDocument2,"{332C4425-26CB-11D0-B483-00C04FD90119}"), "int", 0, "UintP", pdoc)
   IID_IWebBrowserApp := "{0002DF05-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"
   pweb := COM_QueryService(pdoc,IID_IWebBrowserApp,IID_IWebBrowserApp)
   COM_Release(pdoc)
   Return   pweb
}

Thanks Sean, that works Smile

I wrapped it like so

Code:

LoadURL( sURL, WinTitle )
{
COM_CoInitialize()
If Not   pweb := GetWebBrowser(WinTitle)
   ExitApp
COM_Invoke(pweb, "Navigate", sURL)
;COM_Invoke(pweb, "Navigate", sURL, 0x1)   ; navOpenInNewWindow
/*   IE7 Only!
COM_Invoke(pweb, "Navigate", sURL, 0x800)   ; navOpenInNewTab
COM_Invoke(pweb, "Navigate", sURL, 0x1000)   ; navOpenInBackgroundTab
*/
COM_Release(pweb)
COM_CoUninitialize()
Return
}

GetWebBrowser( WinTitle )
{
   ControlGet, hIESvr, hWnd, , Internet Explorer_Server1, %WinTitle%
   If Not   hIESvr
      Return
   DllCall("SendMessageTimeout", "Uint", hIESvr, "Uint", DllCall("RegisterWindowMessage", "str", "WM_HTML_GETOBJECT"),

"Uint", 0, "Uint", 0, "Uint", 2, "Uint", 1000, "UintP", lResult)
   DllCall("oleacc\ObjectFromLresult", "Uint", lResult, "Uint", COM_GUID4String(IID_IHTMLDocument2,"{332C4425-26CB-

11D0-B483-00C04FD90119}"), "int", 0, "UintP", pdoc)
   IID_IWebBrowserApp := "{0002DF05-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"
   pweb := COM_QueryService(pdoc,IID_IWebBrowserApp,IID_IWebBrowserApp)
   COM_Release(pdoc)
   Return   pweb
}
