Only one explorer session allowed?!

[Ben-Bard]

For some reason i can no longer open two web pages simultaneously.
When I open he second it overtakes the first. Does anyone know how to
reverse this annoying setting?

Thanks,

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

Ben,

Additional recommendations:

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
(CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that

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:

I dont get what to do

 

[Ben-Bard]

OK tried that and no luck. I closed and reopened the program to be
sure.

On to Rameshes suggestions.

Yes the Yahoo toolbar is what was causing it. I uninstalled it and IE
now allows multiple windows. Thank you,

Ben

PS: The google toolbar, and the Earthlink pop up blocker were not.

Thank you everyone for sorting out the same problem i had. It has taken me
more than a week to find something on this issue.

And Yes, it was Yahoo Toolbar Helper add-on.

Once again thank you all.
