If anyone knows how to enable two windows to be open at
the same time, I would appreciate the info. example.
how to have Yahoo.com opened at the same time I have say,
ebay.com open. Prior to having my computer "fixed" (rid
of viruses) I could do this no problem by simply
minimizing the window, then clicking on the explorer
shortcut, I would have two windows open at once and could
freely switch between them. So i know it is possible but
there must be some setting that I don't know about.
Please help.

Thanks
 
Hi,
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."

And... you may have a program running which is blocking pop-up windows-
something like Yahoo Companion, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, a firewall,
Earthlink (or another) pop-up blocker, etc.

You'll have to uninstall the program or turn off the feature that's blocking
new windows.

With some programs of this type, using Ctrl+click or Shift+click will allow
a new window.
