I've never noticed that object before, but I do find I can
mount it in an HTA with the following:

<OBJECT ID="WB" CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2" 
width=600 height=400> </object>

I can then navigate to a local HTML file via script. I don't know
if that's of any value to you. It would, at least presumably be in
the same process.

   Or is it the same process? I don't know. Spy++ shows it with
an Internet Explorer_Server and a second one under that. But
a WB generally does its own thing. I'm not sure it's ever in-process.
