IE not opening new window for shortrcuts

Guest

For some reason IE stopped opening a new window and keeps resusing the same
window when I open a new shortcut. I verified that the 'reuse window' box in
Internet options was not checked. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Hi,
You probably have a toolbar or program running which is blocking pop-up
windows- something like Yahoo toolbar, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, etc.
The Yahoo toolbar is a very common cause. Uninstalling the Yahoo toolbar
should allow a second window to open.

If you're sure that another program isn't causing this, these links should
help.
