Here's the scenario.  I have a website.  I have an activex script called
launchinie.dll and it has been installed and allowed to run on a computer.
The website calls this activex script and starts up the program that
utilizes the IE dll's.  Would this scenario work?

Dll's run in the address space of the process that loads them, if two
processes load one dll the code is shared, but the data is not. The dll
can however setup a chunk of memeory to be shared between it's
individual instances and communicate through this memory.
