The illustrious VB 6.0SP5 could easily expose the glorious IE 5.0+ ActiveX control to the user. This would allow you to do anything you wanted involving security, logging, usage, etc. You could then use Ottero to store this information to your Rbase DB for your future data mining needs.
Doing this with Win32 API functions would be impracticle. And it's not even an option because Rbase cannot expose the Win32 API.
