I heavily use Sysinternals Desktops version 2 to manage multiple desktops. In the past, I used Internet Explorer 9 as this was the only web browser I found that could function across multiple desktops. However, I've upgraded to IE10 on Windows 7 and now I can't seem to open IE across multiple desktops.
The same issue is noted by someone else here, but no solution was found: http://forum.sysinternals.com/desktops-v2-broken-by-win8-or-win7-with-ie10_topic29162.html
Non-starter answers are to use other multi-desktop apps that do not use use multiple Windows desktop objects. I find other solutions involving showing/hiding windows to be slow/unreliable.
Is there a way to get any of the major web browsers working simultaneously on multiple Windows desktop objects, such as used by Sysinternals Desktops?

An old question but it still shows up on Google, so:
The solution is to add the "-noframemerging" switch to the internet explorer shortcut.
Clicking the shortcut will now open IE in the current Desktop window (albeit more slowly than normal).
