A key distinction here is between window.Name and window.Document.Title 
.

window.Document.Title is the Title as defined in the HTML code of a 
window with a Type of "HTML Document". This probably equates to the 
window.LocationName property. The titlebar text will include both 
window.Document.Title and window.Name, so...

  if window.Document.Title =~ /Internet Explorer/

will usually NOT work, though...

  if window.Name =~ /Internet Explorer/

...would work.

To grab an IE window from the Shell.Application.Windows collection...

You could test the Type property:

  if window.Type == 'HTML Document'

or you could test the window.Name property:

  if window.Name =~ /Internet Explorer/

But to grab a *particular* IE window from the Shell.Application.Windows 
collection, you could use the window.Document.Title or 
window.LocationName property

  if window.Document.Title =~ /Yahoo/

  if window.LocationName =~ /Yahoo/
