Hi

Can somebody explain me why some websites allow you to open a page in a new window, but then you cannot close it any more? When
trying to kill the associated IE program, all other IE programs are also closed. And the funny thing is: if I started another IE
program from some other website before, THAT IE instance is not killed.

Small detail: it's always with (free, in case you wonder) porn sites this happens. I'm conviced there must be some evil intention
behind this, I NEVER have this kind of trouble with "decent" websites.

That's the problem: corner X does not close the app, and if I use task manager, a whole string of IE windows are closed (i.e. all
windows that stem from the first window where I started browsing those special sites - I just open new windows instead of following
links); the other (innocent) windows stay open.
