The only way to do that is to locate the program's main window and reparent
it manually via then SetParent() function.  Depending on the framework used
to create the program, that may have unforseen problems for the program,
though (I'll ignore those for now - they are a side issue).  Not to mention
the fact that it is not always easy to identify a program's main window to
begin with.

If you want IE windows embedded in your app, it is better to just use an
embedded IE instance to begin with.

Why exactly do you need this?  It is generally not a good idea to hijack
other people's programs.
