Recently my explorer stopped letting me open more than two web pages at a
time, I checked Internet Options Advanced but there is no setting permitting
a change of this sort.

Any other places to check?

TIA

Hi, trty to get to the internet options and then to the advanced tab, uncheck
Enable third party browser extensions and then try to reopen IE and then try
to open multiple windows, it helped in my case, lets see what happens in
yours.

Click to expand...

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

Also, if you have 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 (especially uninstall Yahoo Companion).

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.
