IE6 browser; cant open multiple instances

[sandy]

I need some help with IE6;

when I run internet explorer more than once the previously running instance
is closed.
In a session clicking on "open link in a new window" does not work either,
only one browser window is used.

How can I change this behaviour????

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

And... you may have a toolbar or program running which is blocking pop-up
windows- something like Yahoo toolbar, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, etc.
The Yahoo toolbar is a very common cause. Disabling the pop-up blocker may
allow a second window to open. Or you may have to uninstall the toolbar.

Hope this helps,

thanks;

Yahoo toolbar was the trouble

removing this unwanted software has fixed the problem.
