Internet Explorer Application Control

[gwilymb]

I am using this to display a kind of progress prompt while a script is running. All I want to know is how to get the title to not have "

http:///"

in it and how to make it the active window instead of opening in the background. Any ideas on how to do this?

set objExplorer = createobject("internetexplorer.application")
objExplorer.navigate2 "about:blank"
objExplorer.width = 250
objExplorer.height = 60
objExplorer.toolbar = False
objExplorer.menubar = False
objExplorer.statusbar = False
objExplorer.Resizable = False

objExplorer.document.write "<font color=blue>"
objExplorer.document.write "<MARQUEE WIDTH=100% BEHAVIOR=SCROLL>Searching through AD...</MARQUEE><br>"
objExplorer.document.title = "Please be patient...."
objExplorer.visible = True
