We may have to install it as both iexplore.exe as well as ibrowser.exe, because certain ill-behaved apps may look for iexplore.exe, and we want it to find the user's browser, regardless of whether they've installed MS's IE or are using ours.
Your right. There are a few other things I was wanting to do with it but got stuck on embeddeding the stupid control in a SDI window. I mostly stripped it out of explorer and have a working demo that uses MDI but it needs to be stripped even more.
Well, it's not so difficult to instantiate the control in a simple window. But you have to integrate it with a toolbar, status bar, address bar, and you presumably want to be able to use bookmarks. By the way: many people swear on Opera or other browser like Avant because they provide a MDI user interface. But I think for ROS a browser with an interface similar to MSIE is enough. I'm also using the Explorer source code to create this browser GUI. My version currently even does not yet compile without problems. ;-) But I think it will not take too long until you can see something running.
