Hello Thomas and thanks again,

>I think "subclassing" IE and eventbinding the COM events might give you the chance "Stop!" in Beforenavigate2 or DownloadComplete, which is before rendering is finished. Assign method on .visible hides the main window, until it is cleared by your code. But you must make this subclassed IE the "Standard Browser", which gets called for the popup

This might be a problem as there can be numerous of IE opened at the same time, or can you give me an example how to subclass IE to be the "Standard Browser", which gets called for the popup?

Browser helper objects may definetly earn closer look.
