Explorer opens only one window at a time

[Guest]

I run Explorer 6. If I have 1 Explorer window opened and I want to open
another one, or if I click on something, in the opened window that opens
another window, then the opened window closes and the new one opens. That
problem came up about a week ago. Before that, I was able to open as many
Explorer windows as I wanted. What can I do to be able to open many windows
at a time?

Thanks

I assume you mean Internet Explorer

Have you tried this?
Tools-Internet Options-Advanced.
Uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts"

If that is not the problem, then perhaps it is a toolbar you have
added?
Try removing extra toolbars, in particular, the Yahoo toolbar.

Thanks Alan but I didn't have that box checked and I don't have any toolbar
installed.
Any other suggestions??

Thanks

Spyware is the only other thing I have heard that does it but I don't
know which specific malware.
