Ok. I understand now. From your first post I was thinking your problem
was
with Explorer. By default when Windows is installed folders will close as
new ones are opened and you have to actually switch the setting in Folder
options so you can have multiple folder windows open. But I see that you
are
referring to Internet Explorer.

Try this:
Click the Start button and go to Settings->Control Panel->Internet
options.
Select the Advanced Tab
Under the Browser section remove the check mark from "Reuse windows for
launching shortcuts.
Click the Apply button and OK out of there.
Close Internet Explorer and restart it again.
See if that works for you.

Thats the one that is already checked. As you can see I am not very
smart
when it comes to computers. Maybe if I tell you what i am trying to do
it
will help. Say that I have got Yahoo open, and want to open Hotmail at
the
same time. when I minimize Yahoo and try to open Hotmail it will reopen
Yahoo, close it and then open Hotmail. It does this on all enternet
explorer
windows.

You have opened and Internet Explorer window. I was referring to an
explorer
window. As you know an Internet Explorer window is a window that opens
when
you are online and surfing the internet. An explorer window is the
window
that opens when you open a folder on your computer.

Here is another way to get to the place I referred to in my earlier
post:
Click on the Start button and select Settings. Then select Folder
Options.
The first window that opens from there will have the General Tab.
Select
"Open each folder in it's own window."

I don't have this option under the tab. I have set home page, delete
cookies,delete files and delete history.

I have two computers with XP home installed on both, hooked up to
a
router.
#1 computer will not open two windows at the same time. It will
not
let
me
minimise one window and open another one. My #2 computer will let
me
open
two
or more windows at the same time. Is there a setting somewhere
that
will
set
my #1 computer to open more than one window at the same time?
Thanks
Old MAN
