Hi folks,

I am :-[embarrassed to ask this question but have to, can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

I have been with AOL for 4 - 5 years and have just changed to BT. This means that I now use internet explore 6 instead of AOL browser. In AOL I could open up a site then minimises it and open up another etc, I could do this as many times as I wanted and keep minimising them and returning to each one when I wanted. I can't seem to do this in IE6. When I open a site/page then I can't see anywhere to minimise and open another, so have to type in new address and new window opens up replacing old one. I know you can use the back button to return but I wanted to minimise them if possible. Can this be done, I'm sure its staring me in face but can't figure it out.

I know its probably an easy/silly question but I have always used AOL and never IE. I have tried looking everywhere on net and this site but can't find an answer. Would appreciate your help and if anyone knows of a site with an easy guide to IE would be grateful for the address.

Thanks

Charllie

You need to double-click the IE icon from your Windows desktop (or quick launch bar) to get another browser window.

If IE will not open a link in a new window when you right or middle click on it, dump it and get a browser that will. You are not limited to Microsoft products. Try Mozilla Foxfire or Opera, http://www.mozilla.org/. I am using Konqueror, but I don't know if a Windows version is available. Using other browsers popups, spyware, and adware may not work as well. Dump Outlook, and many viruses may not work at all.
