Originally reported on Google Code with ID 566

IE8 has a new functionality of "New Session" which allows opening 
applications without sharing session information.By default it opens a new 
window which shares session information with the previous window.New 
Session can be implemented by -nomerge option in the command prompt or 
going to File->New Session.
I am using selenium + java,Is there any way that i can launch IE8 with a 
nomerge option that is a new session?

thid has worked for me in order to open a new session by default:
Browse to this path HKEY_CURRENT _USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main and
set SessionMerging to 0

though it doesn't seem like selenium likes it. when a new window opens, selenium stop
controlling the other one...
