Ever since i turned my PC on yesterday i havent been able to have anymore than one Internet Explorer window open at any one time. Usually i like to have about four web sites on the go at any one time, now if i click the IE shortcut on my desktop it just replaces the currently opened IE.

Im using Internet Explorer 6 on W2K.

I've probably done something stupid but i have no idea what :)

Thanks

Press [Ctrl]+[N] to open a new window. Can't say I know what you've done but once IE is running that should give you more windows.

I think that exist an option for that in Tools>Internet Options>Advanced, just before the "print" section... take a look, and maybe you can solve the problem

i had the same problem before i started meadaling.
go into the options tools>internet options> advanced and uncheck the box which is next to reuse windows for launching shortcuts.

Hi,

Thanks for all your help. Mouse using the [Ctrl]+[N] still opened a window replacing the current one.

scroots and Borgtext the relevant check box was unchecked, i think it was the reuse window to open shortcuts" or something.

Anyway i ended up unistalling to IE5 then reinstalling IE6. Works ok again now :)

Thanks again.
