I have created shortcuts to sites I need to use. But..I am unable to keep
more than one shortcut open at a time. If I open one and downsize it, then
attempt to open another..it just closes my first window and opens the new
one. Very difficult, as I need this for school referencing. Help!
 
You might want to try this:

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Internet Options.
Click on the Advanced page.
Uncheck "Reuse windows to launch shortcuts".

Worked like a charm, thank you so much!!!!! I'm learning how to use my new
computer during my first week of school so your help is VERY much appreciated!
 
Right-click on your Desktop Internet Explorer icon and select:
Properties > Advanced and 'uncheck' "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts",
then click "apply".

Another possibility:

You probably 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.
