XP Home SP2
IE 6.0
Running McAfee.

IE will not open in a new window.
Icon, right click "open in new window", and ctrl-N all reuse the same
window, remove the history, and resize.

Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>"reuse windows" is unchecked.
Have uninstalled all Yahoo products.
Have turned off pop-up blocker in IE.
Using only the IE tool bar.
Have run all registry fixes that I can think of from MS Knowledge base.
Have run my original setup disk but fixes are not available as SP2 was
installed after I bought the computer.
Have disabled McAfee and the problem persists.

To keep more than one browser window open at a time, click File in the main
menu, select New, then Window. To close a browser window, click the X in the
top right-hand corner or select Close from the File menu. You can also open
a new browser window with Ctrl+N.

Click to expand...

Go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced.
Uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts".

Also, if you have Yahoo Companion, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, a firewall,
Earthlink (or another pop-up blocker) My IE2 (a shell for IE) etc.
Yahoo Companion is a very common cause.

You'll have to turn off the feature that's blocking new windows or, perhaps,
uninstall the program (especially uninstall Yahoo Companion).

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