Iexplorer opening in previous IE window

remember · 12-19-2006, 06:04 PM

Everytime I click on the IE icon to open a new IE window, it opens up, but only behind my previous IE window. In other words, the new IE window tab is visible on my taskbar, but I have to click on it again, in addition to already having clicked on the IE icon to open it up and and then a second time on the taskbar. (It gets annoying when I have more than 2 IE windows open.) Can anybody tell me how to correct this, so I just click on the IE icon, and the new IE window just opens in front and is ready for use? Not a huge deal, just a bit annoying.

P.S. I have something similar when I go to my yahoo mail. I click on download attachment, then I have to click on another window, that has "open" ,"save" or "cancel", and the cursor is always stationed on the cancel button, after I press download attachment. Not a huge deal, obviously, but just tired of it. Please let me know what I can do to correct that too. Thank you.

I looked at the advanced tab, but couldn't find anything too obvious, but atleast I'm more familiar with that section now.
