Remarks
You can use this method to configure your webpages differently if they are running as a pinned site versus the normal browser mode.
Only pages within the same domain as the pinned site start URL are considered to be part of the pinned site. If a page from a different domain is opened inside the pinned site window, then IShellUIHelper4::msIsSiteMode returns VARIANT_FALSE.
To pin a site, Windows Internet Explorer requires Windows 7 or later.
