I open multiple windows under IE5 all the time.  I have an IE icon down on
the line next to the Window's Start button.  Anytime I need a new IE Window,
I click there and, bingo, there it is.  No problems at all.

I like IE 5 quite a bit.  The only extremely annoying problem I've
encountered is:

a) Say you have a web browser window open and set up exactly as you want it
(for instance, your on-line broker, with all your next-trade info placed
there), and you then minimize it to get your 'desktop' exposed;

b) You have web shortcuts on your desktop, one of which you want to quickly
bring up;

c) You double-click on that desktop icon, and it's web page connection comes
up as you would expect.  You visit the site, and close that particular web
window;

d) You want to place a trade on the security you've been stalking;

e) You suddenly realize that IE 5 did not create a 'new' window for step c),
but instead used your open web window in step a), and now you are going to
have to log on to your on-line broker again, and you are so miffed about it
all that you miss your trade opportunity.


This happens to me regularly, and I hate it.  Netscape opens up new and
separate windows when you double-click on any desktop icons (**but**
Netscape is about three times as long in loading).

I wish IE 5 allowed one to 'lock' particular web windows (like your on-line
broker, all set up for your coming trade), so that double-clicking on some
desktop icon would not suddenly take these over.
