I can not get multiple IE windows, regardless of whether I press CTL-N, or
invoke a new copy of IE, the new window replaces the old one. It all started
suddenly, without any explicit action on my part. Can not find any option in
the IE tools that controls such feature. Searching Help didn't help either.
Should I take a course?

Thanks,
ml

Click to expand...

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.
