IE shortcut on desktop - new window

Comment:

I have to set up an icon (shortut) to a website on the desktop - but I need it to open a new instance of IE6 SP1 when I click it as opposed to browsing away from the current web page in the already-opened instance of Internet Explorer. I have set up a normal shortcut to the site, however, when I click it, it doesn't open a new Internet Explorer - it just browses from the current page. How is this avoided?
