Title: Opening A New Page
Post by: SA_Cowboy on October 28, 2006, 03:19:41 PM

I cannot open a new IE window (whether clicking on a link in the currently open windor or going through File; New; Window) without the original window closing.  I'm sure the answer is simple, however, am unable to find it. :-/

Thanks for the reply Fed.  I should have said IE6.  I saw this reply on an earlier note and tried it but it does not solve my problem.

Ditch IE and get Firefox.

Have you tried going to

Tools/Internet Options/Advanced tab

Now scroll down about a ¼ of the way and Un-check where it says

[] Reuse windows for launching shortcuts

Click on [OK] at the bottom
