Dont want to Reuse windows for launching shortcuts

Guest

I have deselected the 'Reuse windows for launching shortcuts' option and and
it still refuses to abide by my wishes. It continues to reuse the window
rather thatn opening another browser window. The computer is new, my old one
obayed me.

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.
