I have Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600, and IE 6, SP2.

When I click on an icon on my desk top, and I minimize it to the task bar, then I click on another one, the one I minimized shows up on the screen, then it goes to the one I clicked on last. Also happens when I am in my emails. When I am in my Hot Mail or my Yahoo Mail, and I minimize either to the task bar, go to a web site I have on my desk top, my Yahoo Mail (or Hotmail) screen comes up, and then it goes to the Web Page. To get back to the email screen, I have to press the Back key. If I press the X (close), it takes me out of the email. What makes it do this? If I go to a Microsoft Word document on my desk top when I have either of my emails minimized to the task bar, or a web site minimized, it does not do this.

Every day I run, after checking for updates, SpyBot, Ad-Aware, AVG Anti-spy ware 7.5, and AVG 7.5 Professional Anti-Virus.

I went to Check Disk and checked Automatically Fix File System Errors but it did no good. Bad Sectors showed 0.

Thanks much.[size=4]

Somehow, in Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, the Reuse Windows for Launching Shortcuts had gotten checked. I always have it unchecked, so did not even think to check that out, until I happened to be in Advanced for another reason and saw it checked. So, I unchecked it, and that took care of the problem.


Merry Christmas.

I find that I have to re-visit all of the initial "setup" "checkmarks" once in a while just to be sure that they are properly set. The way we jostle our computers about, it is a wonder that they do not get checked or unchecked more often...

Loved your URL...

Yes, guess I should do that sometimes. Life is so hectic, I forget to do stuff like that. I am a caretaker for my brother who has Alzheimer's and by the time I do for him, plus me, I forget a lot. Duh!

Here is another nice Chrismas song site.

Glad you like the Christmas links. When I am online I let the songs play in the background. Kinda soothing to me.

I love this link with John Wayne talking: http://www.poofcat.com/pledgejw.html

This one I look at a lot, also. http://www.llerrah.com/dreams.htm Not Christmas links, but very nice ones.

Happy New Year to all. I love you all.

See you in the New Year sometime, as I always manage to somehow get myself into some computer problem.
