Neil, I did search the list. I might of tried this before, but went on with other trials, and errors.
I don't get an error, it just doesn't close IE. It is not minimized, it is just not in focus. I just tried this. On install it didn't close IE, but when i went to uninstall, it did close IE. So there is a bug with it, that will be fixed in this week's build?
