Kill all instances of a process except oldest (1st) instance (vbscript) -


i'm creating code aid in bigger process i've developed. piece me automate it. assuming have opened @ least 2 ie windows, first section below finds time 1st opened , set variable "strreturn". time colons removed. removed colons easier number comparison. since seems loop through these in order, have exit statement since first care about.

then, second statement, built kill instances of process, attempted modify kill 1 matches time in variable. however, nothing... i'm sure i'm implementing incorrectly. i've bolded parts i've modified original..well, attempted bold - you'll see asterisks...haha. clear i'm going wrong? tia

i got work. overthinking it, tend do...
