Under IE5, I also open one window for on-line broking using login/password,
then another for browsing the web, or other HTML items I may have on the
desktop or in Agent. In this way my on-line broking window is always
available with prices, and buy/sells when I need it.
Having the IE5 shortcut on the toolbar makes this very easy.
Cheers
Ian
