internet Explorer 6 will not open pages up in a new window

internet Explorer 6 will not open pages up in a new window
Wed, 17 Jan 2007 10:30:02 -080
I have a client that will not open linked pages up into a new window and all 
the other clients that reference this page have no problems with it. Any idea 
why this particular client will not do this? The client is using the default 
setup for IE.

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.
