This works because when you open a new window from within an open IE session
it will share the "session" cookies with the windows within that "copy" of
IE.  If you open a new instance of IE from the Start menu it will not share
the "session" cookies from the other "copy" of IE that is open.  If your
session variables are using CF token variables on the URL then you will get
the same session no matter where you are.  If you're using "session" cookies
then it SHOULD give you a new session.

When I say "session" cookies I'm talking about cookies that expire when the
browser closes, not the cookies CF uses to define its session scope.
