Hi all

I discovered this handy little toolbar quite in error and now rely on it
heavily, but what I would like to know is how to make any link I click open
in a new window and NOT in the existing one. one of the links I use does it
automatically. I can see the difference in syntax but don't know anything
about which elements to use to make sure new links open in a new window -
any help would be great.

thanks

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.
