Hi All,
I want to open each URL link that's in my desktop, in separate IE
window. When going to Tools>Folder Options>View Files>URL I see that
the 'open in same browser' option is disabled.
How do I succeed in opening each URL in its own IE?
Thanks in advance
 
Hi,
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."

But you will also probably have to modify each link (internet shortcut) like
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.
