Opening multiple photos /images in Explorer

[Joseph Cardone]

I hope someone can answer a question for me.

Prior to upgrading to IE explorer 5.5 and 6.0 I used to be
able to highlight and open several images and they would
open in one window in sequence. I could then use the back
or forward buttons to scan images.
Presently, if I open say 5 pictures they all open in
separate windows.

Anyone familiar with how to change it back? I believe I
originally changed a registry setting to look like a web
view but I can't remeber where or how I did it.

Joseph,
Open IE and go to TOOLS/INTERNET OPTIONS and
hit the ADVANCED tab.. Scroll down till you see
"Reuse windows for launching shortcuts". Make sure it is
checked and hit APPLY and OK...
Happy New Year,

HTH,
