What happens if your script terminates abnormally, or some other process on the system terminates your instance of IE? — alroc

You should be able to attach to the process with this, check the result of the Windows() method, locate the IE one and then build the correct where clause:

$ie = (New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application).Windows() | Where-Object {...}
