A web site automatically logs me off if I log onto their sister web
site. However, if I am logged onto the sister web site using another
browser, such as Firefox, it does not log me off.
I would like to be on both site at the same time using Internet Explorer.
Can you recommend a way to do this? I do not want to use any method
that will decrease my internet speed.
If it works and is a clean + robust method, I will pay.

Unfortunately, this is a matter of cookies, and the cookies
in play are the ones associated with the particular browser
you're using.
So, even if you have two separate IE browser windows open,
you are only using a single browser. Since IE is interwoven
into the structure of Windows, there's really no way to
open IE as a different user without logging off of Windows
and logging on as a different user.
You could try using MyIE2, now called Maxthon, as your 2nd
browser. It's a tabbed browser with a lot of useful features.
It's actually more of a shell that uses the IE sub-structure,
but it has its own executable file. I don't know that this
would help, though, since it uses IE's cookies and temporary
files.
Firefox, Mozilla or Netscape work because they have their
cookies and temp files in completely different locations,
independent of IE.
The only thing that might work (I haven't tried it, but in
theory, it could work) is to create a second installation
of IE - say on a different hard drive. That would create
a second location for the executable (IExplore.exe). It
would tend to create its Cookies, Temporary Internet Files,
and History folders in the default location under your
Windows
C:Documents and SettingsrtabellCookies
C:Documents and SettingsrtabellLocal SettingsHistory
C:Documents and SettingsrtabellLocal SettingsTemporary
Internet Files
However, you could try resetting the default location of
these folders by hacking the registry and changing the
locations of the folders. The thing is, because Windows
is so enmeshed with IE, installing the second version
would likely use the same registry entries as the first,
so in changing the locations for the second installation,
you would find they have also changed for the first.
The trick would be to somehow make this separate installation
completely independent of the normal installation. Doing so
could prove to be very complicated. It would probably require
you to do things like naming the program differently when you
installed it, so, instead of installing to the default
location:
C:Program FilesInternet Explorer
...you could install the second installation to:
E:Internet Browser
...renaming the title of the program, and even changing
the name of the executable to, say, IExplor.exe, and
creating your own shortcut to it.
You could then search the registry for E:Internet Browser
and clean up the entries for the renamed executable, as
well as the locations of the Cookies, Temporary Internet
Files and History Folders.
All of this assumes that the IE installation process
offers you the same flexibility as most other programs
in deciding where to install the program. I haven't
installed IE for a long time, and don't remember.
It could prove to be impossible, giving how deeply IE
is enmeshed into the structure of Windows, and its
intimacy with the Windows shell and Windows Explorer.
Or you could just settle for using a different browser.
Opera, anyone?
