Hello,

I have several web links saved as shortcuts on my
desktop, I want to be able to force a new IE window every
time I double click one of these shortcuts. Would someone
be kind enough to let me know if/how this can be done?

many thanks.
 
Hi,
Right click the shortcut> Properties> Target. Add the path to IExplore.exe
to the target, so that it becomes (for example)
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" http://www.yahoo.com
Note the space between EXE" and http.

If this doesn't work:
Find IEXPLORE.EXE on your machine.
Create a shortcut to iexplore.exe on the desktop.
Add the URL to Properties> Target so that you end up with
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" http://www.yahoo.com
Rename the shortcut

Hope this helps,
Don
 
Uncheck the (default) Advanced tab option
Reuse windows for launching shortcuts

The F1 help for that option is not particularly clear.
