Wanna run separate instances of IE on my Win2K box.

Anybody know the reg hack/fix so that I can run each IE window seperately from the rest?

For those of you just browsing, giving each window of Internet Explorer it's own resourses allows you to crash an IE window, while leaving the others uneffected.

Scooter, how did you get IE to crash in Win2K? I've never had that pleasure yet? Or have I just been lucky?

Instead of pressing control-N like I do, click on the explorer to launch each on separately.

Sethpa, I don't really have a problem with IE crashing or anything, but it has happened before. I dunno why, it just did, usually some kinda java error.

Celery, what setting do I use to run separate instances. I looked around but couldn't find the option.

What I'm looking for is the ability to run a seperate instance even when a webpage spawns a new window.

Is my question clear? I'm not sure if I'm articulating my request where others can understand it.

Scooter, what he said about launching IE multiple times. Minimize the open window, launch a new version of IE, separate window. I do this if I have a slow loading site and jump to something else while it's loading up. Not sure though if one locks up/crashes whether it will lock the other, as I've never had that happen while running 2 or 3 instances of it at the same time.

Cool, I guess that might work. But you know when you go to a webpage and you click on a link how it spawns a new window automatically? I want that windows to use completely seperate resources. If Java cause a fault in one window, Win2K closes that window, but leaves the others untouched.

The way it's running now, if I were o crash a window I would lose all of them.

I was posting news a while back and was going back a forth between webpages spawned in different windows, when one page crashed. I lost all that I had been working on in the other window because NT killed EXPLORE.EXE. Which shut them all down.

I have a dual 800e with 512mb ram. I'm not worried about resources, so why not run them all as seperate tasks?

I can make do with just manually opening another window, but I remember seeing a reg hack/fix that would do this automatically. I want it when IE launches another window, it launches another process.

Happy Easter!!!

you could setup several separate partitions with PartitionMagic v6.0 and install IE on each on them. That would give them there own resoures. If one crashes, it shouldnt affect the other one.

good luck

Hmm.. I think I'll kep looking for the fix/hack I saw earlier. I do thank you for your response though... I'm sure your suggestion would do the trick, I'm just loooking for something a bit more simple than that.

Thanks though!
