AFAIK, There is no direct way to ignore the current instance of chrome/ie and open a new browser instance.

Check using Sys.Process("browser").Exists. If exists then use that browser instance to do so.

    Shankar,

    As I want to work with multiple URLs at same time, Sys.Process("browser").Exists will be true if I need to open new browser instance. My requirement is, need to open a new url as a separate instance to validate something in between the execution of my primary url without closing it. What solution we have in Test complete

      If you want to launch a new browser instance then you can use WshShell like below

      WshShell.Run("powershell -command start chrome ");

      to activate the chrome, loop thru the browser instances.
