XP Home SP2
IE 6.0
Running McAfee.

IE will not open in a new window.
Icon, right click "open in new window", and ctrl-N all reuse the same
window, remove the history, and resize.

Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>"reuse windows" is unchecked.
Have uninstalled all Yahoo products.
Have turned off pop-up blocker in IE.
Using only the IE tool bar.
Have run all registry fixes that I can think of from MS Knowledge
base. Have run my original setup disk but fixes are not available as
SP2 was installed after I bought the computer.
Have disabled McAfee and the problem persists.

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.
