' This function closes down all IE browser instances - quickly!
'Parameters: None

Public Function CloseAllIEBrowsers()

' Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is the infrastructure for management data
' and operations on Windows-based operating systems. You can write WMI scripts or
' applications to automate administrative tasks on remote computers but WMI also supplies
' management data to other parts of the operating system and products, for example System
' Center Operations Manager, formerly Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM), or Windows
' Remote Management (WinRM).

' This technique shuts down the processes (as seen in the Task Manager) instead of
' closing the actual window using its handle. Close all IE Browsers using WMI:

' I used this technique as it seemed more reliable and consistent than other approaches.

Code:

strSQL = "Select * From Win32_Process Where Name = 'iexplore.exe'"

    Set oWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")
    Set ProcColl = oWMIService.ExecQuery(strSQL)

    For Each oElem in ProcColl
        oElem.Terminate
    Next

    Set oWMIService = Nothing[size=small]

    CloseAllIEBrowsers = True
    
End Function
