You can get all the IE processes, and then cycle through them, and check the windowtitle. Something like this:

System.Diagnostics.Process[] IEProcesses = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("iexplore.exe");
        foreach (System.Diagnostics.Process CurrentProcess in IEProcesses)
        {
            if (CurrentProcess.MainWindowTitle.Contains("MSN | USA - Hotmail, Messenger"))
            {
                CurrentProcess.Kill();
            }
        }

You need to research the EnumWindows P-Invoke function.

Start here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms633497(v=vs.85).aspx

Then go here: http://pinvoke.net/default.aspx/user32.EnumWindows , and here: http://pinvoke.net/default.aspx/user32.GetWindowText

Finally here: Issue with EnumWindows
