anyway to test if a site loaded ?

i am launching a website with ShellExecute but what i want todo is check if its loaded in IE , is there way way to check if its loaded fully and not time out error page etc , i can get the current website url from the EDIT control from IE , i just cant just if the site loads or not
thanks

I would not rely on that the browser is IE. Lots of users use other browsers as their default, and if you launch IE instead of the default, they would be annoyed.
That said, I don't know specific ways of checking this, but there are some things for "process communication." Don't know what / which browsers it works for, however.
Perhaps the best way would be to check if the URL exists yourself?
