I want to use Homeseer on my home automation PC to control Media Center on my media center PC over the network via the Remote Server (NOT Media Server) function. When I issue a command (such as play a certain playlist), I basically give Homeseer the hyperlink of the function in the Remote Server webpage as an argument (website) to iexplore.exe to execute. But when I do this, it launches Internet Explorer in a new window. Does anyone know of a way to execute the command and suppress the new window opening? Or is there an easier way to do this?

Instead of giving the URL to iexplore.exe, give it to wget, which is a GNU free command-line URL downloader program.  You can get wget as part of a full Cygwin download (www.cygwin.com), or in standalone form from http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/wgetwin.html

This program will download the URL to a file without opening a GUI.
