We have an asp.net 3.5 web app that we must start load testing with LoadRunner

What we have found is that if you open several browsers (ie8) they share the same session id, so making a change in one window impacts the other windows (not just our app, others app also).

Now, LoadRunner can simulate a number of users per pc, and so we are finding its getting messed up since its all sharing the same session.

Any ideas on what is the best method to prevent this (we dont want to go with cookieless sessions).

How would you ensure each browser window is treated as a unique session?

Thanks

A: 

This is a 'Feature' of IE8 :-S.

You can however start IE in a "start with new session" mode though. use:

iexplore.exe -nomerge

Not to sure how this would be applied to LoadRuner though (Never worked with it)

Does anyone know if you can direct browsers to operate in this mode from the server? Of course we would need to get all browser types and versions so this is proably a non runner
