IE6 won't open in new page

I can't get more than 1 page showing using IE6 with Win
XP. Sometimes I want to click a link and have it open in
a new page rather than replacing the one I am in. A
corollary problem is that lots of times I loose the
ability to go back as IE6 shifts to the url rather than
opening it in a new page.
Maybe a dumb question, but I can't find the setting to
automatically open in a new page vs transition to a new
url.

Any help appreciated

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

And... you 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) 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.

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.
