The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How to close IE window with vbs ?

Zone: VB Script
I need a script to close internet explorer window. (IE7 or IE6)
The best would be if I can set window title in it and close only that site.
Good if I close all IE windows.

Another way is to get the JSSys3.dll file out of here:
http://www.jsware.net/jsware/scripts.php3#jssys
Direct: http://www.jsware.net/jsware/zips/jssys3.zip

Put the JSSys3.dll in your System32 folder, and run
regsvr32 jssys3.dll

Then, use the code below.

Regards,

Rob.

You *could* run it on a remote computer using PSExec, but, as I said, because it would then run with *your* administrative credentials, I don't think you'd be able to see the open windows....

I'm not sure about Vista, I cannot test it, as I do not have access to a Vista machine.  But you do need Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime files, so make sure that's installed.  And try to use IE6, apparently there could be problems with IE7.

Also, don't forget to register the DLL on the Vista system.  What error do you get after that?

Regards,

Rob.

Does the DLL register successfully on Windows Vista when you run
regsvr32 JSSys3.dll

This site doesn't say anything about supporting Vista...
