Okay, I need help. I can't open new internet explorer windows, if I hit control-n, I don't get a new window, the one I already have open stays open. If I click a link, it opens up in the window I currently have open. I found this link:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q281679
Sounds like my problem. However, I don't know where to find my registry files to see if they are all correct. I hope this makes sense. Anyone have any suggestions? This is teh frustrating. I tried the steps that say go to run and I got the message where I clicked ok (see the link), and I restarted and it didn't seem to work. Argh. I'm running IE 6.0 on windows xp. Thanks!!![/img]

Hold the windows key, right-click on the link, while still hilding the Windows key, hit N, Release windws key. Should do the trick, I think.
Oh, and get firefox, tabbed browsing kicks ass.

FireFox PWNS WHY?
1. Tabbed Browsing, the greatest advancement of the internet ever.
2. Safety: Very good built-in pop-up blocker, and has no major flaws
3. Features
a) Downloads. You can pause downloads or cancel them halfway if it is lagging your computer. You can also keep tracks of multiple downloads at one time, and of course, pause one to let another go faster.
b) Themes: Customizable themes allow you to customize your browser to it looks like what you think is cool!
c) Search Bar, a search bar on the right of your address, which allows you to search Google, Yahoo, Dictionary.com, Amazon.com, Creative Commons and E-Bay. Also allows you to add engines like Wikipedia, Merriam Webster etc.
d) Bookmarks toolbar. A little toolbar below your Standard Toolbar. It allows you to have a one-click solution to all your surfing needs, like QC etc.
4) Cute logo.
Well, even though it is so good, it does not come pre-installed with Macromedia Flash and Shockwave, Java, QuickTime etc. When you do arrive on such a page, you will be notified and then linked to download it. This seriously rocks, furthermore, it is FreeWare, and unlike Opera, there are no advertisements!
ENJOY!!! I have done MY part in promoting Mozilla FireFox. Do your part now! :P

I don't like tabbed browsing myself. I prefer to maximize screen real-estate, and the tabs take up space. I browse with Safari (OSX browser that supports tabbed browsing,) but I turned tabs off in my preferences. Whenever I want to save my place while exploring in other directions, I just apple-click the link to open it in a new window.
-
I've been using IE7 for a while now, and I rather like it. It's faster then Firefox (IE always has been, due to the tighter integration with Windows), the tabs work nicely, it's a bit slimmer... All in all, no complaints.
Well, there is one. It doesn't work on Win2k, which I use at work (here).

Yeah IE is faster but that integration causes potential security holes.
-
Eh, FF has security problems as well.
-
For me FF takes longer to start up than IE but it loads pages alot faster, and yes FF does have security problems too but its not targeted by hakers so much and dosent use active X which does make it more secure.

Let me get this straight. You want to maximise screen real estate, so you open new windows instead of using tabs?
Can someone explain to me how this makes sense?

Adding windows to the start bar means there is no tab bar, when the tab bar isnt open it dosent take the space up.

I am using Firefox right now, with the tab toolbar open, and it takes up maybe 1/8 of my screen, as compred to IE, which the last time I used it, took up almost 1/4 of my screen.

No start bar in OS X. Still, I guess the Dock could work the same way, if you minimize all the extra windows.
I gotta say, for me, the tiny amount of screen space the tab bar takes up is a perfectly fine tradeoff for the convenience of tabs. To each his own.

IE7's tab bar is tiny. It's interface is so damn minimalist it is not funny.

YES! Someone else who likes Safari!
I almost never use tabbed browsing because my screen is too small. I use a really old iBook for day to day stuff (I've got a PC for gaming), and the screen resolution only goes up to 800x600, so the space that the tab bar takes up is considerable. I just open stuff in new windows and use Expose to switch between them.
