How to read in URL from IE into VB program

Hey, I'm trying to make a simple VB program which needs to read in the URL string from IE and then process/use the information. How do I read in the URL from the most recent IE window into a VB program? I'm sure it can be done b/c I've used programs which will automatically read in the URL from my browser, and that's exactly what I want to do. Any help, tips, or links to were I might find help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks, sicko

check out this simple code:

Dim blah As New ShellWindows
Dim i
For i = 1 To blah.Count Step 1
Print (blah(i - 1).LocationURL)
Next i

it will print out windows explorer's locations as well but you can check the urls to only use the ones with http:// or something

to make it work you need to reference the dll shdocvw.dll (in system folder)... project->references
