Really stupid question. Really, really stupid.

I just got a new computer with Windows XP (I used to have Win 98) and in IE6, I can't open multiple browser windows at once. I know usually you do File.New.Window or Ctrl+N but when I do that it just closes the current window and opens a new one. I know it sounds like it'd be really simple to fix, but I can't figure it out. Any help? Thanks!

just press shift

...oh btw,...you hold it down while getting a new window up.

Erm.. you mean doing Shift+ctrl+n? Or holding down shift while you do file.new window? Neither of them seems to work...

 

[devlish96]

no,..just hold down shift and click on IE icon

no wonder it doesn't work

 

[Emily]

That doesn't work either. This is so weird...

 

[devlish96]

try to reset your IE settings,..go to the Tools menu, click Internet Options. Click the Programs tab. Click the Reset Web Settings button.

well, can you go to file -> new -> window?

Resetting IE settings didn't work either.

Shan, I can but it closes the current window and opens a new one instead.
