[... snip complex code ...]

At the risk of oversimplifying matters (and thanks to Roger
Upole for providing this snippet which I think I've linked to
three times this week!):

<code>
import win32com.client

HWND = 0x00bd031e

ShellWindows_guid = '{9BA05972-F6A8-11CF-A442-00A0C90A8F39}'
for shell_window in win32com.client.Dispatch (ShellWindows_guid):
  if hasattr (shell_window, "HWND") and shell_window.HWND == HWND:
    web_browser = shell_window
    break
else:
  web_browser = None

if web_browser:
  print "browser at", web_browser.LocationURL
else:
  print "Couldn't find browser at hwnd", HWND

</code>
