Launching Internet Explorer without quotes mangling

One user was employing some batch commands to launch Internet Explorer to a specified URL. They found that this worked fine the first launch, but if the strategy was used again while the first IE instance was still running, the second instance misinterpreted quotes in the command line as part of the URL and failed to load the page.

This can be worked around by preventing Internet Explorer from "merging" frame processes and sessions. Supplying -nosessionmerging -noframemerging on the command line allowed multiple instances to be launched without mangled quotes breaking the URL.
