Taskbar....Running more than one program.......HELP!!

Guest

My taskbar won't allow me to run more than one program. If I go into one
program(Internet explorer) and minimize it and then try to open up another
Internet Explorer window, the first one just closes out. I can't get more
than one window on my taskbar.........if someone has a solution........please
help.........I would gladly appreciate it.

try right clicking on an empty space on your taskbar,
then selecting properties
then uncheck the box that says GROUP SIMILAR TASKBAR BUTTONS
press ok..

tell me if this helps

Hi Kee,

This is usually caused by third-party browser add-ons. Disable all Pop-up
blockers if installed any. Here is a detailed note from Don Varnau, MS-MVP
Internet Explorer.

You probably have a program running which is blocking pop-up windows-
something like Yahoo Companion, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, a firewall,
Earthlink (or another) pop-up blocker, MyIE2 (or another shell for IE) etc.

You'll have to turn off the feature that's blocking new windows or, perhaps,
uninstall the program.

BHO Demon from http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm may find the
offending program/BHO.

Or it could be caused by spyware/parasites. Work through the solutions
(CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.

You'd be interested in using my program ToolbarCop to disable the IE add-ons
(that includes browser extensions, toolbars, additional buttons to the
standard toolbar, Browser Helper Objects) selectively, to isolate the
problem. ToolbarCop can be downloaded from:
