That's about as good as it gets. Internet Explorer doesn't have any special command line switches to recycle the window that already has that page shown.

    Mozilla, at least on win98, *will* reuse an open browser window (or even an open browser tab) with the start command. There may be a registry setting that would allow IE to do likewise.
