I believe the behaviour you are describing is determined by whether you have 
multiple IE windows, or multiple instances of IE running.  If you start IE, 
and hit ctrl-n or go File-->New-->Window, you get a new browser window, and 
session cookies are shared between the new windows.  However, if you start 
IE, e.g. by double-clicking a shortcut, and then double-click the shortcut 
again, you have two instances of IE running and session cookies are not 
shared between them.

I'm not sure, but maybe this will help with your headaches?
