It's even worse than that as it depends on the version of IE you're running.
I run IE 5.0 and 5.5 on W2K. If you do a File..New Window you'll always get
the same process, so you'll share in-memory cookies. If you start a new IE
process (from the task bar, explorer etc.) you'll get a new process, and so
a new session,
