There are times when I want to open separate windows. @ one time the
different windows open would line up @ the bottom of my screen. Now when I
goto a different site, that site overrides the previous and the (Back) button
arrow has disappeared and I can't return to that previous page without going
to the history and searching for that link. Is there a way around this?

Click to expand...

TOOLS/INTERNET OPTIONS/ADVANCED

scroll down until you see REUSE WINDOWS FOR LAUNCHING SHORTCUTS. be
sure the box is UN-checked and you should be good to go. this
presumes you do NOT have a pop-up blocker running.

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.
