hey i created a desktop internet shortcut to go to a specific website...
i was wondering how can i make that open a new internet explorer window
rather than using one thats already open.

i was in the middle of a rather large www.yousendit.com upload and i
went to open a shortcut to a certain website and it opened it in my
yousendit window and i had to restart the upload... im looking to make
this shortcut open in its own window
 
Internet Explorer | Tools | Internet Options | Advanced tab |
Uncheck:  Reuse windows for launching shortcuts |
Apply | OK

[[Specifies that when you click a Web link in an Internet-aware program,
such as Outlook Express, and there is already an Internet Explorer window
open, the Web page appears in the open browser window instead of opening a
new window.]]
