My internet explorer 6 have a problem.
Whenever i click on a link which opens a new window or right click to open a
new window, my previous window will close automatically. Any suggestions to
prevent the previous window to close?
 
Hi Damien,

You might have a popup killer that is responsible for this.

Kind regards

Hans

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.

If you're *sure* that another program isn't causing this, these links may
help.
