This is a more fundamental problem, and just disabling the Ctrl+N doesn't address all of the issues. Even assuming that you have a closed browser set that you can program to, it doesn't mean that the session access won't be concurrent. Just pressing a submit button more than once can cause concurrent access, not to mention embedded content.
I think that it's a dead end, the important point is to code session logic carefully.

Hi, How to disable Ctrl+N operation which creates a new window in Browser ( IE )
My spontaneous reaction to that is, don't do it. If you feel that whatever you are doing needs to force the user to not open more windows, chances are that our program model are flawed.
The original poster didn't say why he wanted to disable Ctrl+N, but I can see a good reason why he might.
The problem has to do with session management. If you start two browser windows from the desktop or command line, you can automatically maintain two different session cookies, one for each window. But if you use Ctrl+N, you automatically get one session cookie for both windows. In that circumstance it can be very easy to confuse the server in any kind of stateful process.
What we're trying to prevent here is not multiple windows, but multiple windows sharing the same session identification.
One may argue that stateful processes are undesirable. Agreed. But sometimes they are absolutely unavoidable.
So if anyone knows how to disable Ctrl+N, I'd like to hear it too.
