Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I've automated the installation of a workstation using SCCM. One of the applications that is installed during this process, automatically starts an IE browser session when it's done. <br />
<br />
Is there a way to prevent the browser from starting? I tried to kill the process after it started using taskkill.exe in a script. It kills the proces, but when i start the browser after that, it generates the message that the browser hasn't been closed correctly the last time.<br />
<br />
If i can't prevent it, is there a way to close the browser in a correct way?
