When I open a new window the old closes when I don't want it to..

[Guest]

When I click on a link and a new window opens the old closes even if i don't
want it to. Or if I want to just open a new window, the old closes even if I
don't want it to. How do I stop this?

Until IE 7 comes out of Beta, just right-mouse click on the link and choose "open in new window".
To go to another site, via the favorites or the address bar, go to the FILE menu and choose open new
windows. Then use the favorite or address bar in the second window.

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

And... you may 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.

I have the box "reuse window for launching shortcuts" unchecked and it still opens any new link or
new shortcut in place of the existing windows. The only sure method I have found is to use the
right-click "open in new window" option.

Do you have any third party toolbars?
