IsBrowserProcess

Determines if the current process is a browser process.

Declaration

BOOL IsBrowserProcess (VOID); 

Return Value

The function returns TRUE or FALSE according to whether the current process is or is not determined to be a browser process.

Behaviour

This function’s question is evaluated just the once. If the function has been called before, it returns whatever it knows from the first execution.

To be recognised as a browser process, the current process must have a module filename that fits in MAX_PATH characters and the filename component must be one of the following (after conversion to lower case):

• iexplore.exe
• ieuser.exe
• isinstal.exe
• iedw.exe (version 7.0 only)

Availability

The IsBrowserProcess function is exported from IERTUTIL as ordinal 56 in version 7.0 and higher.
