I have run into this issue.
It is because Ctrl-N starts IE in the same process space.
If they start it from the desktop icon then it gets its own process.
(Firefox does not though - it always runs inthe same process.)
This issue is bigger than just session.
Your cookies are shared too - including the forms authentication ticket.
Your app should still work correctly in either window though.
Not sure why you are having unexpected results. All of the same data is
available to that user.
Now if that user logs off one screen the other should still have him logged
in.

Hi,
When a user of Web application makes "File - New - Window" or Ctrl+N in
IE,
the user obtains 2 windows IE having the same SessionId. This generates a
problem when, in one Web form, we use a variable of session to store a
dataset. The fact that the user browses with 2 windows on the same
application and the same session can give unexpected results.
Is it possible to have Id of window which would enable to name the
variable
of session with this Id and, then, have a single name by opened window
with
the same SessionId?
Thank you
