hello dear, use following code: ShellWindows _shellWindows = new SHDocVw.ShellWindows(); string processType; foreach (InternetExplorer ie in _shellWindows) { //this parses the name of the process processType = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(ie.FullName).ToLower(); //this could also be used for IE windows with processType of "iexplore" if (processType.Equals( "explorer" ) && ie.LocationURL.Contains(@ "C:/Users/Bob" )) { ie.Quit(); } }
