Can not open multiple browsers

B

Ben

On my new computer running XP, that has IE 6.0.28, when I
try to open a new IE browser it resets the open browser.
How can I set IE or XP to open more than one browser?

Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Tab.

Look for the setting "Reuse windows for opening shortcuts..."

Hi Ben,

1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Click Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab
3. Uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts"
4. Close Internet Explorer

The Reuse windows for launching shortcuts setting is used to determine
whether a new or existing instance of Internet Explorer is used when
exploring a Web site using one of the following methods:

a. Double-clicking an Internet shortcut (.url file) from within Windows
Explorer.
b. Opening a URL by clicking Start, and then clicking Run.
c. Using a desktop toolbar, such as the Address or Links bar.

When this setting is selected, an open instance of Internet Explorer is used
to display any Web site loaded using the above methods. If the setting is
cleared, then the above methods start a new instance of Internet Explorer.


----------------
Selecting the Reuse windows for launching shortcuts setting sets the
following value in the registry to 1: Key Name:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Value Name: AllowWindowReuse
