Can only open one window

[Beth]

I'm running IE 6 and it recently started opening new
windows over the already open one. Only one IE window is
allowed. So if I try to open a second instance of IE, it
opens it in the same window that was open and anything I
had there is lost. Or if I try to open something within
Hotmail, the new window replaces the original and I have
no back button and can't return to the original state.
Any ideas? Is there a way I can uninstall IE completely
and reinstall?

Hi,
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."

And... you have a program running which is blocking pop-up windows-
something like Yahoo companion, Google toolbar, a firewall, Earthlink (or
another) pop-up blocker, etc.
Either remove that program or disable the pop-up blocker.
With some programs of this type, using Ctrl+click or Shift+click will allow
a new window.
