The thing to note is that hwnds brings back a list of all Internet Explorer objects running on your machine. This *includes* things that might not be obvious at first, like a simple Windows Explorer window (or windows) you have running (since it uses IE in the background). Printing hwnds.LocationName and hwnds.LocationURL in a loop will show you exactly what processes are using IE at the time you run it. Given that the returned list will vary each time you run your program you'll definitely have to iterate through each hwnds item and check if it is the browser session you want as shown in the above code.
