QTP 11 wrongly identifies Browser Count as 2

[RameshKrishnan]

Code:

Set objBrowser = Description.Create
    objBrowser("micclass").value = "Browser"
    
    Set colBrowser = Desktop.ChildObjects(objBrowser)
    iTotBrowser = colBrowser.count
    msgbox iTotBrowser

Above code gives msg as 2.Though I have opened only one browser.

In Task Manager ,there are multiple iexplore.exe instances for single browser.

Using QTP 11 && IE 9
Can any one help me in this.>?

That's the design of IE9, you will always find 2 iexplore.exe instances - if I have to explain this behaviour simply first instance is for the IE browser itself and another one is for the first tab.

You have to turn off the multi tab option in IE settings, so that you will get browser count as one (forget about the Iexplorer.exe process - if you looking to work on the process itself that's a complete different story).

Let me know if you need any more information on this.
