BIG security problem. The Shell.Application is not marked safe for
client side scripting (because it's not). If this is intended for the
server side, it must be instantiated with the Server host, as in ...

Set objApp = Server.CreateObject("shell.application")

However, this approach cannot be used to access anything on the user's
machine, so I doubt it will be of any use to you - unless you want to
know how many IE browser windows are open on the server.

It appears you are trying to figure out if the user has a particular
website open. That should be impossible, if MS has done their job,
because that's none of your business (as a web site author).
