Why are there two windows running when the platform is launched?
When you login to IFT, the launch browser remains open and after a few seconds, the ICTS applet will appear. It is important that the small window not be closed (it can, however, be minimized) while the IFT Platform is to remain in operation. The launch browser can be closed at any time. This small window is necessary due to typical Java implementations on most browsers that would otherwise not allow you to continue browsing the Web while the User Interface is active.
