There is nothing available for querying that directly.  You will have to
track the instances manually.

For that, you have to actually connect to each IE browser window and query
its current URL from its DOM interfaces directly.  Specifically from the
IWebBrowser2 interface, which has a LocationURL property.

For both of these, I would suggest writing a Browse Helper Object.  Then you
can install it into IE, and IE will load it automatically.  When loaded, it
can communicate back to your main application as needed so that it knows
when IE is running, how many times the BHO is loaded, and to receive
notifications whenever the URL changes in a browser instance.

Refer to MSDN for more details:
