How can I make IE5.5 open in new window, manually? (edited)

[sylvangale]

I have a panel on my monitor with an internet button which can link to any program/file (anyone know how to specify dial-up locations as the folder is unbrowsable?), BUT Linking to IE5 will start IE5, clicking the button a second time will not load IE5, but return me to the original window opened with button.
Netscape opens multiple times when I hit the button.

Are there any command line options or something that will let me force IE to start in a new process?

Browse in a new process means to actually open up a system thread that is separate from the Windows Desktop Explorer. This means that if an error occurs while browsing, it will not bring down the entire desktop with it.....I don't think this is quite what you are getting at.

You want to open in a new separate window? Hit Control-N while you have an IE window open, or hit the E icon in the Quick Launch toolbar to bring up a new blank Window.

What I mean is that whenever you run IE5 by way of shortcut or directly a new window will always open if you currently have one open.
A program that I use runs IE5 for me by way of a button, BUT the button will only run one instance of IE5 and if pressed again will switch to that original window.

I was wondering if there were any way to force IE5 to open in a new window through maybe a command line argument so that I could just make a batch file and have my program run that instead if IE5 directly.

Thanks,

Try uncehcking Reuse windows for launching shortcuts in the Advanced tab of Internet Options.

That doesn't do a thing for me to fix my button problem, but thanks for showing me that new option. OE reusing windows was always a problem for me.

I'm thinking that I'll just have the button do something else.

Thanks,
