Make a shortcut to a URL spawn a new window (IE6)

[Guest]

We would like to have a shortcut to a URL open in a new window. So far I've
found 3 ways to do this:

1. Registry - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,
DWORD "AllowWindowReuse" = 0.

2. IE6 settings - Internet Options > Advanced > Browser > uncheck "Reuse
windows for launching shortcuts."

3. Make the shortcut launch IEXPLORE.EXE with address as an aurgument.

Each have pluses and minuses. Are there other ways that may work? Thanks
for any input

I think that's pretty much all of them. There may be a way to do it using
DDE. You can also create a new WebBrowser object in script and do it that
way.

What downsides do you see?
