open a new web page in a new window, when I click on a link on the web page I
am currently viewing, instead of replacing the current web page with the new
one.

Hi Mike :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

How to allow multiple windows

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.

Press Shift- when you click?

Press Ctrl-N before the new page finishes loading?

The latter option is perhaps only a technique available to dial-up users.
