Problem with login with a few different users to EP with IE8

Former Member

Good day!

I used an IE7 and was able to login in different IE windows with different users. E.g. I open an IE window, login with user1, then open the second window and login with user2. Everything worked fine, different sessions is supported.

When I upgraded IE to the 8 version that option is not available now. I login with user1 in the one IE8 window, open the second one and there is already logged user1. How can I fix it if possible?

Yes this is an issue with IE8. To resolve it use IE8 in Compatibility view.

Where can I activate that view?

In IE, goto Tools --> Compatibility View settings.

It doesn't work for me. Any other option?

use the '-nomerge' in the target of your IE8 shortcut. This helped me for having one session per browser!

e.g.:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" - nomerge

Hi there,

Both options do not work for me...'

1] compatibility view is on = no effect

2] in the shortcut icon to IE8 I added "-nomerge" = no effect

("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" - nomerge)

Do we have other options? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

How did you open a few browser's windows? Both from the shortcut?
