unable to open links in new windows while surfing

[Guest]

hi all
i use windows xp. all my web settings and explorer settings are
default. the other day i was browsing thru the net and happend to click on a
link on the site. the link opened in the same window rather than in a new
window.i tried the 'open link in new window' option thats avialable in the
mouse right click menu, but in vain.
would you suggest me what options i need to change inorder to open the
links in new windows.

Hi,
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."

And... 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) My IE2 (a shell for IE) etc.
Yahoo Companion is a very common cause.

You'll have to turn off the feature that's blocking new windows or, perhaps,
uninstall the program.

With some programs of this type, using Ctrl+click or Shift+click will allow
a new window.

If you're *sure* that another program isn't causing this, these links may
help.
