If I understand your situation, if IE is running on the same machine
with the same IP address and user, I don't see a way to do what you're
trying to accomplish--separate instances using the same browser. Now,
if you have two different browsers (say, IE and FireFox), that would
probably work as cookies are usually stored in separate places. Or use
separate user accounts (if your OS allows multiple logins) as the cookie
files are in different directories. But the web server (and php) has no
way to distinguish connections coming from the same machine. Only the
client browser differentiates that. So, unless you use a different
user, browser, or machine, you're pretty much stuck with the behavior
you see.
