@Declan1991Aug 15.2008 — If it only is for your own computer, and you can alter the settings of IE, you could probably do it with ActiveX. If not, you'd have to use another language, maybe PHP, Python, Perl, C, Java etc.

@georgeobienauthorAug 15.2008 — You mentioned ActiveX or a programming language. C is my main language, but I don't know how to control a browser with it. Is there an API? How would I link it in to my program? Thanks!
