Hi Chris, In Internet Explorer 5.5,6.0 if you opened up two separate browser instances they would have two 'un-connected' sessions. As stated by Ronald they would share the session if the 2nd was opened using ctrl-n but otherwise the sessions would be unique. Cookies may have always worked as they do now but the browser would store them within each instance. They seem to have changed to now share the sessions/cookies and this was introduced at the same time as tabbed browsers IE7+.
