      Internet closing out

      I'm using Internet Explorer on an XP system

      I will have my main internet window open. Some links will open into a second smaller window. When I close out of that second window, that causes the first window to close as well. Sucks if you have a few tabs open in the first window, lol

      I've tried to look for a setting under Tools> Internet Options> Advanced, but didn't find anything. Didn't find anything with a Google search either

      Anyone know how to fix the problem? Thanks

      IE does the grouped-tabs thing, so what happens to one happens to the other.
      just get a different browser, damn it

      No, I know that if you close a window with multiple tabs it'll ask if you want to close out of all the tabs

      My problem is having 2 windows open, unless that falls under the same thing?

      The more important question is why are you using IE.

      Your problem is your browser doing stupid shit that you don't want. Get a browser that doesn't do that. Like Firefox.

      when you go into tools->Internet options -> advance, hit the restore advance settings then hit reset. its restart your browser back to its default.

      Also what version of IE are you using?

      I think it's IE 7. Her mom said it just started doing that this week. I will try your fix

      Yes, I'm sure improving your GF's family's internet experience substantially will be something they won't like.

      After that, try updating... Internet 7 isn't half as secure as IE8. you could try IE9 beta, but I don't like it. It reminds me of Chrome.

      Tried to fix it with Restore and did nothing. Told them that upgrading to IE8 or another web browser may solve the problem
