Problem with SHDocVw.ShellWindows object after installing SP1 on

Hi,

I have a VB project that uses SHDocVw.ShellWindows in order to retrieve all
the open IEs on the machine. Retrieving the number of open IEs and
information on each browser worked perfectly on my Vista machine (IE7) until
i installed SP1 on Vista. Ever since i installed SP1, the method
SHDocVw.ShellWindows.Count always returns 0 even though i have a large number
of open browsers on my machine.

Please assist,
King Regards,
Ayala

I am having the similar problem. I am using C++ though.
I create a new browser and then try to attach to it via ShellWindows.
I iterate through all and attempt to match the processIds.
I do get browser objects (so ShDocVw.ShellWindows.Count is greater
than 0), but their processIds dont match up...

When I run the prg on Windows XP SP2, it all works fine...
