How do I set my IE to open new pages with a new browser window? I
can't find an option in the settings for this.

I want to be able to send pages to the desktop, then later on click on
them and have them be brought up in a separate window (rather than
overwriting the window I'm currently looking at).

Thanks!
Matt
 
Matt,
This setting should open Internet Shortcuts on the desktop in a new window.
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."

If this shortcut will be around for a while, this might be worth doing. It
will always open that URL with a new IE process.
Find "IExplore.exe" (probably in Program Files\Internet Explorer)
Right-click and drag IExplore.exe to the desktop and choose "Create
shortcut." Right-click that shortcut> Properties> Target, modify the Target
to include the URL.
Example:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
becomes
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" www.yahoo.com
Note a space between EXE" and ww
Rename the shortcut if desired.

Hope this helps,
Don
