I can only opeon 1 Internet Explorer Window at a time

[Guest]

The problem I am having is that I can only open one explorer window at a
time. when I try to click on anything in the website that I am working on,
It opens up a new window and closes the on that I am working on. Has anyone
had this problem?

Right-click on your Desktop Internet Explorer icon and select:
Properties > Advanced and 'uncheck' "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts",
then click "Apply".

"Reuse windows for launching shortcuts" was not checked. I checked it hit
apply closed the window and try it. I didnt work. I unchecked it hit apply
and closed the window. It still doesn't work.

This is usually caused by third-party browser add-ons. Disable all Pop-up
blockers if installed any. Here is a detailed note from Don Varnau, MS-MVP
Internet Explorer.

You probably have a program running which is blocking pop-up windows-
something like Yahoo Companion, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, a firewall,
Earthlink (or another) pop-up blocker, MyIE2 (or another shell for IE) etc.

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

BHO Demon from http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm may find the
offending program/BHO.

Or it could be caused by spyware/parasites. Work through the solutions

You'd be interested in using my program ToolbarCop to disable the IE add-ons
(that includes browser extensions, toolbars, additional buttons to the
standard toolbar, Browser Helper Objects) selectively, to isolate the
problem. ToolbarCop can be downloaded from:
