Hi Clint, Thanks for your input. IE6 does have "open in a new window" in the right click context menu. However, it was clicking on a quick launch icon where the problem came in. There is no "open in a new window" in the right click menu there in quick launch.
Thanks again, Marlene -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Support-OrpheusComputing.com I would have mentioned that, but I thought you would have noticed this behavior at OTHER websites. :-) If you don't have, and want, the right click and "Open frame in new window" and "Open (link) in new window" I have the add-on for that, it came from the M$ website. I don't think IE6 had those options. I find them VERY useful, couldn't do without them. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marlene Coldwell" Woo-hoo!! I finally found the setting. It should have been obvious. IE/Tools/internet options/advanced. Then uncheck box for "reuse windows for launching shortcuts". Thanks again for your help, Marlene -----Original Message----- Hi, Thanks to all who responded. I'm afraid I did not explain the problem very well :-(. I'll try again. I open an instance of Internet explorer and go to www.shopkey5.com (from there everything is password protected). Everything is fine until they need to go to another site to order parts. They use the icon in the quick launch toolbar to access the parts order page. When they click the icon in the quick launch toolbar, the page that has "shopkey" on it is the one used to open the Parts order page. This happens even if I have another instance if internet explorer open with the focus on it. In other words say I have two browser windows open, www.shopkey5.com and www.google.com. I opened shopkey first, then Google. The focus is on Google. I click the parts warehouse icon in the quick launch toolbar and instead of opening in the window where google is, the parts warehouse page opens in the window where shopkey was. I have made a screen shot which may further explain the problem. http://www.asos.us/ieprob.htm . Sorry it's kinda fuzzy, but if you look closely, you can see that google is in focus, yet clicking on the little wrench (wrench head Icon) in the quick launch toolbar results in wrench head being opened in the window where shopkey is in the screen shot. I'm sure there's a setting SOMEWHERE, but I have not found it as of yet. All three of our pc's react the same way, so I am assuming this is a default setting. Holding the shift key while clicking does not appear to make a difference. I have not tried other browsers although I may have to resort to that. The guys are VERY resistant to change, and it was super to get them to go along with the online version. This saves me from having to copy 7 DVD's worth of information to our hard drive every quarter.
