Something has changed in my set up and now when I try to relaunch IE, it
closes my current session and opens a new one.. any clue on how to go back to
being able to open multiple windows?

Thank you

Click to expand...

Go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced.
Uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts".

Also, if you have Yahoo Companion, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, a firewall,
Earthlink (or another pop-up blocker) My IE2 (a shell for IE) etc.
Yahoo Companion is a very common cause.

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

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

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

The "reuse" was already unchecked..

I am going to see if Yahoo or something else is causing it. Hopefully so..
