There is no standard or universal way to do this.  First of all it will depend greatly on the OS you are running.  Second it will depend on which browser you ar running.
Im working in windows 95/98, with internet explorer 5.

After having done this, you'll be able to retrieve the current URL using 'IWebBrowser::GetLocationURL()'.
