No multiple instances

Hi all,

I recently ran into a problem where my PC will no longer run multiple
instances of IE6. Not sure what caused it but it may have been a site
I went to that hijacked my browser and opened multiple instances of
itself. Anyway, my problem is that when browsing and I go to open
another instance my current browser will close and get IE 6 will open
to my homepage. This even occurs when I right-click a link on a page
and ask it to open in a new window. Must be some simple setting but I
can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced.
Uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts".
