new window in a new instance of IE

Suppose the following hypertext link that opens a new HTML page in a new
window:

<a href="newpage.html" target="_blank">new page</a>

If user clicks this link, IE 6 will open a new window with 'newpage.html'.
However, this window is opened within the same instance of IE.

Is there a way (configuration or HTML code) how to tell IE to open a new
page in a separate instance of IE (separate process)?

You already have, that's the target="_blank" portion of the markup. Open IE,
click tools, options, advanced, scroll down, and untick the option to re-use
windows when launching shortcuts. If you have any third party popup blockers
(like the Google Search) you should disable it's blocking features.

Thanks for your answer.

I don't have any popup blockers and 're-use windows' option is unticked.

As I wrote, IE does open a new window after user clicks a link with
target="_blank" atribute (i.e. user gets 2 windows - original and a new one).
However, both original and new window belong to one process (I can see only
one IEXPLORE.EXE in Task Manager). What I need actually is to open a new page
in a separate process.
