0. Open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu and select Internet Options.
1. Click the Advanced tab.

2. In the Settings box, Navigate to the Browsing section.

3. Uncheck the checkbox labeled "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts."

4. Click the OK button.


There is only one satisfying way to boot a computer.

There are a number of registry settings that can cause this. I tried repairing them all but eventually I had to reinstall I.E. Other people have had success with these so try them first:

Start-->Run-->regsvr32 urlmon.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Msjava.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Browseui.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Shell32.dll

Good luck.
