Two Instances of IE

I was running IE as different user with Login credentials.The script is



Err.Clear

  On Error Resume Next

  Call TestedApps.iexplore.RunAs(Domain,user,pwd,,,,-1)

  Set p = Sys.Process("iexplore").Page("http://loca*")

  If p.Exists Then

  Log.Message("IE launched")

  End If

  TestedApps.TerminateAll

But in the Processes I see iexploe.ese with cmdline "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe"SCODEF:1108 CREDAt:79873.

Whenever I run the script I get an error message(but that's for exception handling) and another instance of IE running though I don't see anything under Applications.I have to always kill the process to run my script again.

Other problem is even after killing the process when run script I get unexpected window to recover last session.

Help me to get rid of all these problems.

    Hi Aravinda,





    This is a default behavior of Internet Explorer 8 - it always runs several processes.





    You can make Internet Explorer launch only one process. To do it, in the system registry, search for the TabProcGrowth value in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main key (if it is not present, add the value of the string type) and set it equal to zero.

    Thanx David.I did mention because the second instance of IE is not launched when I did the same

    manually.I thought may be RunAs() is launching another process.But this solved my problem.
