Howard,

you should be able to get the desired behavior by changing the following
registry key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\ddeexec\Topic

It normally has the value

WWW_OpenURL

Changing it to

WWW_OpenURLNewWindow

will make sure IE will always open a new window for VPM sessions.

This is the same setting that is being used when you type e.g.

start http://www.ActiveState.com

on the commandline. It will also reuse the most recently used browser
window. With the registry change above, this will open a new windows as
well.
