Forcing new window to be a new browser session?

[cmv131]

Is there a way in a link, to force IE to physically open a new browser?

I know all of the target = commants, but a new browser through those is like hitting ctrl+n or file-new-broswer, which retains the session from the first window.

Ideally it would be a call like this:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

http://web.site.com

as you would run from a dos command. We have 1 legacy web app that doesn't like to run when linked into a new window, and I have a feeling the session has something to do with it.

Any ideas?

AFAIK, no. And I didn't think if you open another IE it runs as a separate thread while it runs in the same thread if it is run from ctrl-n command.

If you physically open a 2nd IE (double click or from quick launch or start menu), and look at your processes, there are 2 for iexplorer.exe, where ctrl+n keeps it in one.

You could try opening the new window in a frameset or an iframe. Might work!

There was an identical question, asked sometime in the last 3 months... But I cannot seem to find it using the search facility.

I don't remember what the solution was, but the thread did go on for a while, so it might be worth having a play with the search facility to see if you can find it.

If just IE, you could use the WShell ActiveX control to laucnh a new IE process, I would say.

Hope this helps,
