opening a favorites link in a new window

[Guest]

Hi: I am using Windows XP, IE6. I would swear I used to be able to open a
link IN A NEW WINDOW from the favorites menu by left click/shift, but it
doesn't work now. Does anyone have a way to do this? Thanks, Susan

Hi SEW

Try the following and see if it helps:

From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> Unncheck "Reuse
windows
for launching shortcuts."

If you have a toolbar or program running that blocks pop-up windows, such as
Yahoo Companion, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, etc., disable them, Yahoo
Companion is known to cause various problems and should be uninstalled.

Also, often using Ctrl+click or Shift+click will allow a new window.

From the Favorites menu? I don't think so. However, you can add a "Open in
New Window" command in the right-click menu.
