Multiple instances of same browser is getting created in Shared object Repository .Please tell how to avoid this ?Example :Original : WEB_PAGE (VIEW COMPANYFirst instance WEB_PAGE (VIEW COMPANY_2As per QTP Help file : By default, the name assigned to the Browser test object in the object repository is always the name assigned to the first page recorded for the browser object. The same test object is used each time you record on a browser with the same ordinal ID in future recording sessions. Therefore, the name used for the browser in the steps you record may not reflect the actual browser name

Since While You are Recording the Objects QTP is taking that Particular Instance as per the Properties in the Object Identificaiton Settings for that web Elements.
If you want to Have only One Instance you have to Normalize the Property for the Browser so that You can get all the Objects at Any Point of Time in the Same Instance

Once you have recorded one instance of the browser.Do change the property
for eg URL and customize it to a regular expression it will do
eg : if browser url is www.gmail.com/instanceID = 10
you may set it like www.gmail.com/instanceID = d{2}
so that the new instance is also created in the same browser and all objects will be in one parent.
Please revert in case of doubt

Hi.. If my understanding is right, do the following:
Goto Tools>Options>Page/Frame options>
Select Different test object descriptions radio button on both and click OK.
Sorry, If Iam wrong.
Thanks,
