There are quite a few examples of automating IE with COM lying around
on Google and Google Groups if you know what to look for.
Unfortunately, COM is be rather obscure in many ways.

terms: IE, MSIE, Internet Explorer, COM, pywin32, win32all, ctypes

The win32 mailing list (whose name I forget -- sorry!) is a good
source.

PS. these days, your subject line sounds distinctly spammish
(especially since it's a woman posting the message to a
comp. newsgroup -- how likely can that be? ;-)
