the window im in and opens the new one in that frame so i cannot scroll back
and forth so if im shopping at an online store and i click a link on the
site , it will open the link in the same window then i cannot scroll back

Internet Explorer does not have settings to fix this behaviour.

Get Firefox or Opera instead.
 
Hi Joe :-)

You don't mention the version of Window you are using, but, try the
following and see if it helps:

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.

Click to expand...

assuming IE 6.x

TOOLS
INTERNET OPTIONS
ADVANCED
REUSE WINDOWS FOR LAUNCHING SHORTCUTS

if checked, uncheck. if the problem persists...do you have a pop up
blocker running?
