Open IE at specific URL?

[Craig Williams]

I would like to set up a shortcut to open IE6 in a specific URL on my
company's intranet, without making that my home page. Can someone advise me
how to do that?

Craig,

Start/Run and type:
iexplore <address>
Say, iexplore www.google.com

You can create a shortcut with the URL as the parameter.

-or-

Visit the page by typing the address in IE and create shortcut on the
Desktop, using the context-menu option "Create Shortcut"

I already have a shortcut. The problem is that our company's web-based
applications conflict. If App "A" is already open, and I try to open App
"B" using its shortcut, the "B" opens in the same browser window, and App
"A" is gone. I would like "B" to open in its own window without having to
remember to open another browser window. Is it possible to make a shortcut
that does that?

Thanks. Unfortunately, my company has disabled that setting in Internet
Options - Advanced.

Craig,
Try this:
Find "IExplore.exe" (probably in Program Files\Internet Explorer)
Right-click and drag IExplore.exe to the desktop and choose "Create
shortcut." Right-click that shortcut> Properties> Target, modify the Target
to include the URL.
Example:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
becomes
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" www.yahoo.com
Note a space between EXE" and ww
Rename the shortcut if desired.

That should always open a new instance of IE for that shortcut.

Hope this helps,
Don
