launching favorites from start menu

[Guest]

I just realized a handy way to launch my favorites would be using the start
menu. Only thing is that it launches in the same window that's open. Any
way to get it to launch in a separate window. I am hoping that from reading
about IE7, this will solve itself once you have tabbed browsing (eliminating
the need for New IE window>Favorites>selection), but for now is there
anything I can do? Right clicking doesn't show me an open in new window
unfortunately, so I don't know what else to try.

Right-click on your Desktop Internet Explorer icon and select:
Properties > Advanced and 'uncheck' "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts",
then click "Apply".

I believe that you can use the -new switch to open in a new window. Here's a
link to the IE6 Resource Kit:
