_IECreate("http://www.mywebpage.com",0,1,1,0)

it opens the webpage correctly but also opens the homepage in another window. how do i stop this from happening?

Look at the option in IE for home page, I think you can change it there so that it only opens one page.

See the "IE.au3 issues with Vista - Workarounds" link in my sig.

I only use win7 and XP. Both do it

I assume it only happens with that specific URL? Assuming so, dig into that page and figure out what is different about it.

This does not happen on my WinXP Professional computer, I would go with the advice to look at your browser settings and see if it is set to open the home page as well as any linked page when it starts up.

Hi Folks,

I am a newbie in autoIt and also facing the same issue. I am using below script, it opens another IE page which is blank. Is there any way to close this another IE window? Appreciate the help.

$oIE = _IECreate($TargetAddress,1)
$HWND = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd")
WinSetState($HWND, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Thanks,

PD
