Since then, when I open IE, it doesn't let me have more than one window open at a time. When I click on something, a new window opens and the old one disappears. Is there a way I can keep more than one window open again? I checked my McAfee program and can't find anything that is causing the problem.

Change under Browse Folders on the General Tab. Up front. I despise McAfee. It cause to many problems and is blotware. Norton isn't far behind in my book. Most of us around here use the free version of AVG with good results.

I guess I should contact McAfee and tell them about this problem since it started after a free upgrade. I am not impressed with them. Thanks for your help. Sandy

I even disabled McAfee just to see and that didn't help either. I'm seriously thinking of going with your recommendation of AVG. Does it come with a firewall and if not, is there one you like? Sandy

I hope I/we run into some information that will. AVG free version doesn't have a firewall. free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5#avg-anti-virus-free Most of us use Zone Alarm free version for our firewall. Takes a little tweaking to get it settled down. (wants to notify you about everything) Zone Alarm free here

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. Open Windows Explorer. (You can get the same thing opening My Computer.... Homer) Go to Tools (On the window you open at top.... Homer)\| Folder Options \| File Types. Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol and select it. Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version. Select 'open'. Click Edit. Try clearing "Use DDE"

I turned it off and I am now able to have more than one window open. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your help. I really appreciate it. Sandy
