can someone suggest me how to launch the IE instance which is already opened?

here is my scenario.
1. I launch the IE and sign in to Live/any account
2. I minimize it and work on some other tool

The question makes no sense. "Already opened" may mean only one thing: some instance which is already being executed. You cannot launch any "instance" again, just because if you launch anything, this is always another instance. Perhaps you only need to restore minimized window...

Comment from OP:
hi Sergey, limitation from my side is - I should not additional tools like WASP. I should do this using PowerShell cmdlets.
