    IE 6 Won't open pages in new window!?

    check: Tools>Internet options>Advanced and see if you have "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts" checked. Hope this helps.

    New Window in IE, not

    Go to your Explorer Tools>Internet Options and click the Advanced tab. See if you have the 'Reuse windows for launching shortcuts' selected? If it is selected, uncheck it.
