Command Line w/ IE Question

[Guest]

I have a question regarding starting IE from the command line. In the technet
documentation that I can start IE with a "-new" option which forces IE to
start a new process. It seems to me that is the default behavior of IE, which
is to say that if I double click on an IE shortcut it will start a new IE
process regardless if IE is already running. What I would like to be able to
do is force IE to open a new window rather than spawn a new process when a
user clicks on a IE shortcut.

Here are the switches for starting IE:

But any start of IE via iexplore.exe will start a new process. If you want
to just open a new window you'll have to create a link using the window.open
scripting method.
