Cannot open more than one instance of IE

[Guest]

I am unable to open more than one instance/copy of internet explorer. I can
click my internet explorer icon several times to open several copies and it
just refreshes the current page. I also tried by clicking a link and
selecting "Open Link in New Window" that doesn't work either. Neither does
File > New > Window. Please help. I am using IE6.

I have the same problem... and I've read on the Net, that its due to Adware,
I've removed all the adware on my computer and it hasn't solved my problem, I
also understand that it is only happening to the other users on my
computer... the First (administrator), doesn't have this problem... all
others (including other administrators) do .... If I find an answer I'll
contact you.... please do the same.

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

And... you have a program running which is blocking pop-up windows-
something like Yahoo Companion (a frequent offender,) Google toolbar, MSN
toolbar, a firewall,
Earthlink (or another) pop-up blocker, etc.
You'll have to turn off the feature that's blocking new windows or, perhaps,
uninstall the program.

With some programs of this type, using Ctrl+click or Shift+click will allow
a new window.
