How do I run Internet Explorer from my default browser and at the same time
have another one or two Internet Explorers running. Say, one to a secure
website and another to a nonsecure site without having a conflict? Does this
make any sense? Is it possible these as Icons on screen as well?

In the far left of the address bar is a small icon --- simply go to the
website you want a shortcut for and drag that little icon across to the
desktop... you can have as many windows open as you wish (this is limited by
the amount of memory you have and other things, not by IE)

If you have many windows open you may find it easier to use the buttons on
the main taskbar to swap from one to the other but of course that's personal
preference...

By the way some secure sites have a timeout function so you can still drag
the icon a above but some pages will close anyway, you cannot force them to
stay open. If a page closes you may be able to use F5 to refresh it but not
if it's a data input form...

I didnt see an icon on the address bar. Unless you are talking about the list
that Favorites lets me save web adresses to. when you say"data input form" do
you mean a website that requires me to use a username and or password to
enter? Because I would like to have 2 or 3 of these authorized sites open at
a time. I currently am not able to have multiple sites open without getting
kicked out of a previous one.

Hi,
If I understand, the problem is that you can only have one IE window open at
a time, right?

Try this:
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."

And... you may have a toolbar or program running which is blocking
pop-up windows- something like Yahoo toolbar, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar,
etc.
The Yahoo toolbar is a very common cause. Uninstalling the Yahoo toolbar
should allow a second window to open.

If you're sure that another program isn't causing this, these links should
help.

Regarding the internet shortcut... as Charlie explained, make the IE window
smaller than the desktop. Click (left-click) the IE "e" icon at the left end
(beginning of) the address and drag that "e" icon over to the desktop.

Hope this helps,
