[dynamic_sysop]

Howdo, I've been working on this for a couple of days, I did a VB.NET example of this on a forum a few years ago, but C# presented me with a new challenge & it took a while to figure out.
The Idea is to get hold of an open instance of IE ( IE7 in this case ) & grab hold of it's IHTMLDocument2 Interface, giving the ability to manipulate that external Internet Explorer window / grab it's url address, it's html, make it navigate elsewhere, etc...
when this code is added to a project, you must make a reference to Microsoft.mshtml
