Hi
You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, which really is a
must when asking for help in the newsgroups, but, try the following as it
may apply
to your OS and see if it helps:
Go to Tools>Internet Options> Advanced.
UNcheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts".
Also, if you have any 3rd party toolbars such as Google, MSN or Yahoo,
disable them. If you have a firewall, Earthlink (or another pop-up blocker)
My IE2 (a shell for IE) etc. check them as they can block new windows.
Yahoo Companion is a very common cause of this and other problems, if you
have it, uninstall it.
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.

Also..create a shortcut pointing to Iexplore.exe. Clicking that shortcut
will
always open a new window.
Hope this helps.
