cant open multiple explorer windows

[Guest]

When I minimize windows explorer and attempt to open a second explorer
window, the original window closes and is replaced with the new window
displaying my homepage. Is there a setting that I need to correct to allow
me to open multiple internet explorer windows.

Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer?

When you open the same window the second time it will close the
first one. You can open subsequent windows to sub-directories.

kalo...Im attempting to open multiple internet explorer windows..I have
always been able to minimize the window to allow someone else to open another
internet explorer window therefore not interfering with my searches...I dont
know why this no longer works...

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.
