I've just taken a Yahoo email account and it's messed with my browser settings.
I used to be able to click the explorer icon and run as many windows as I wanted. Now when I click the explorer icon it replaces the window with a new one each time, which I don't want.
It's probably very simple to put right but I've looked and can't find how.
Help?

I don't use microsoft, so i'm just guessing by the way M$ generally do things.
Go into your internet options and on one of the tabs there will be a list of options with check boxes at the left side.
There should be a option saying "open browsers in a new windows" or something like that.
Just a thought, could be wrong

Tried fiddling with the settings in mine but couldn't get it to replicate your problem. Had a quick search and there is a registry edit to sort it here.
Basically its:
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
Value Name: AllowWindowReuse
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = new window, 1 = existing window)

A friend of mine has this problem...
Don't think he installed or had anything to do with Yahoo, but the same problem.
I will have to have a look at playing with the registry to see if that fixes the problem.
Thanks.

Cheers DJ.
Weird thing is that's it's started working again now!
I did nothing to it, a yahoo tool bar appeared and now it's back to normal.
Very strange.
