Is there a button you can push, or hold down, when clicking on a link, to be
able to open a new "session" of IE?

Yes. Right click on the link and a little menu comes up. Then left
click on "Open in a new window" and it will do what you want.

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

To Bill: When I do as you say, there is not an "open in a new window"
option. All there is; "copy, copy shortcut,save target as, save pic as, save
background as, select all, and add to favorites"-of which #'s i,4, & 5 are
not accessible.
To Carey: When I do as you say, it continues to open in the same window.
 
The commands you state you get when you right click are what one typically
gets when right clicking a link in OE not IE, are you sure you meant IE?

In my first post, I said a new session "of" IE, not a new session "in" IE,
so may have misled you a bit. I was referring to clicking links in OE, such
that each one you click would cause a new session of IE to open, with the
original one(s) staying open.

I don't think it can be done.

Frank,
If I click on the two links in your sig I get two separate
IE windows, but I'm not real sure what I've done to get them.
I think it's a setting in the IE tools>Internet options > advanced
that says reuse windows for launching shortcuts. I have it unchecked.

Try this. Open IE go to tools>Internet Options>Advanced
Uncheck reuse windows for launching shortcuts.

Did a quick test and unchecking this causes IE to open a new
window for each link.

You're right!
It didn't used to be that way. No matter whether that was checked or
unchecked OE would use the same instance of IE. Do you have WinXP SP2?
If not, did you test in OE?

Well no and no :-) I'm still on Win2k Pro at work and I use Thunderbird
for news. I was just hoping it would work in XP and OE.
I tested here at home tonight with Win XP SP2 and Thunderbird and
it works OK, but it didn't work for me in OE. Did you get it to work
in OE?

Yes, I just noticed that this aftnoon, while playing around with this again.
With the "reuse existing browser" unchecked, and using the shift button, you
get a new window. This is handy. Finally.............. got an answer to this
puzzle!
