Thanks Jerimiah
Unfortunately nothing happens when I run this script.
I have tried running the script with "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" switched on (as Advanced Launcher requires this setting to enable switching to external programs) but this didn't help.
Perhaps it's because Kodi doesn't support it. I don't know.

Thanks! Unfortunately I receive message "No PVR add-ons available" when I run the script.

Well I did remove the PVR add-ons.
I replaced
child = subprocess.Popen("C:\Progra~2\Intern~1\iexplore.exe")
With
child = subprocess.call(["C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe", "-k"])

Yes I start the script via a key mapped in keyboard.xml. Unfortunately it doesn't work in maximized screen either.
The thing is, my system becomes notably slower when I enable "Use maximized screen instead of true full screen".

Do you want XBMC running in the background when the browser is open? I have a basic add-on for killing XBMC, launching internet explorer then after internet explorer is closed it re-laumches xbmc that I can post if you like.

@KenV99: Thank you very much for your efforts and time. Much appreciated. I will look into AutoHotKey. I noticed Python scripting requires some basic coding experience which I unfortunately don't have. I mean if a script stops working I'm unable to troubleshoot it myself.
@teeedubb: Yes that's what I'm after. Does your add-on require the option "Use maximized screen instead of true full screen" to be enabled?
