How do I get process information about IE window

I am using the vb.net code below to find an instance of IE that is displaying a particular URL.

How can I also get the process information? If I could get the process ID then I could find the process. Thanks.

Dim window As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
SA = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Dim windowCount As Integer = SA.windows().count()
For Each window In SA.windows()
Dim WindowURL = window.LocationURL
logmessage("check windowURL = " & WindowURL)
If InStr(WindowURL, URLToCheck) > 0 Then
logleave("IsWebTopPageOpen:success")
Return window
End If
Next

Granted it is powershell, but you can always do this from VBS and trap/process the output

But I'm not 100% sure that javascript doesn't allow the same process ID to have more than one window, so this may not even be possible in the first place.

Thanks but I can't user PS as I am running ie7 on an XP machine.

This is vb.net code, BTW.

I am pretty sure that if I get a window handle that there is a way to get the process id from the window handle....just not sure exactly how
