Internet - Multiple Sessions

[Guest]

Hi!
I'm using XP SP2. When I go to a site and click on a link, instead of the
link opening in another window, it changes the original window I was in.
This is driving me crazy, and am sure there is an easy fix but I can't see it.

I want link to open in seprate windows, so therefore I'd have multiple
sessons of IE open at the same time. It used to be this way until I had to
restore my PC and i received all the updates from the MS site.

Thanks!

Holding down the shift key when you click the link should do it. I'm not
sure if you can set this permanently though.

Hi, Neil.

Unfortunately, this didn't work either, but thanks for trying.

More information: If I have IE open and I click on the IE icon again to open
another session, it doesn't open another one; it just brings the one I'm
currently in to my home page (seems i can only have 1 session open at any
given time).

It's quite frustrating.

I just figured mine out. I went and uninstalled yahoo toolbar. Working fine
now.

Additional information:

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.

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:
