When I try to open a web-site in IE6 from its saved shortcut-icon, it does so
in the last opened IE6 Window, overriding the existing site. I want it to
open in a fresh window. (This used to be the case most of the time, and I am
not aware how it got changed). Please advise on the settings to change.
Thanks.

Hi,
Check this setting...
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."

This article explains this setting.
