Carey,

That's close but not exactly what I'm looking for. I already know that if
I click on the Internet Explorer icon, it'll come up on a new brower window.
My problem involves icons on my desktop which go to specific web sites.

For example, if I'm looking at www.cnn.com, I can drop a link/icon to this
site onto my desktop and later, I can just double click the icon to go to
the site. But, unfortunately, this method only fires up a new browser if
one is not running. If one or more are already running, it will take over
the most recently instantiated and reuse it.

I edited the icons I'm having problems with and at Properties > Advanced,
there is no option such as you described. Is there another way to achieve
what I want?

Many thanks,

Dennis Gallagher
