Gracefully kill all open IE

[Mich]

I own several asp/jsp systems that tend to get, for lack of a better word, "clogged" with cache. When a problem is reported the first response is "Have you closed all browsers and cleared all cookies (CABACAC)?"

Unfortunately many of my users will have a dozen sessions open with mutliple tabs in each and CABACACing can take a while. This gets even more frustrating testing and having to do this over and over and over and over.

So, I'm looking for a vbs that GRACEFULLY closes all open IE sessions. I'm aware of how to kill processes via WMI, but that isn't what I'm looking for as it messes up one of my ASP apps.

Any ideas?

Use .AppActivate to bring focus to an open IE browser. Then send it an alt+f4 to close it. Not sure if this is considered gracefule, though :/

for multiple IE windows, use a [tt]do while loop[/tt] with some [tt]wscript.sleep[/tt] delays

set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

if (objShell.AppActivate("Internet Explorer")) then
	msgbox "IE is open"
	objShell.SendKeys "%{F4}"
else
	msgbox "IE is not open"
end if
