Hello all,

I have WinXP at work and have some I.E. shortcuts on my desktop to quick-launch to some websites. What ticks me off is rather than a new window opening up the shortcut takes over a I.E. window that's aready open! I rigth clicked on the shortcut icon to look for an option to "open NEW window" but didn't see anything like that in there. Anyone out there know of a way to do this?

Cheers,
Arfinwulf.

That one was harder than I thought...I found "open a new IE window and click the link/shortcut"
See this.

Here's another little trick...Control n will launch a new window- then you can click the link with no fear that you will lose your first window. This is especially helpful when you have composed a masterpiece reply to a G2G topic and want to check a fact or a link before sending...

Just an addition:
You could get Firefox too. That has tabbed browsing, but if you want to keep IE and have tabbed browsing, you could get MSN toolbar.
