A Shell collection object != a InternetExplorer.Application object.
The problem with using a ShellWindows object is that you could easily
connect to the wrong instance, especially since the OP doesn't know the
LocationURL of the instance that he is looking for.  That is why I asked
for clarification.  Once we know what the OP is trying to do, we can
make sure that he has a reliable method to connect to the proper instance.
