Guest Barry Karas Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 11/Oct/2008 12:01 I am running Windows XP Home with SP3. When I minimize a web page, the notification icon goes to the bottom of my desktop (between the start button and the clock). This web page SHOULD NOT change. However, when I start a new web page (for example, that is on my desktop, or is in an e-mail message) the minimized web page changes to the web page I just started. I want the prior web page to remain. This worked the way I want until about three weeks ago. Then the MINIMIZED web pages changed automatically when a new web page was started. How would I make minimized web pages stay the same until I terminate them? TIA Sincerely, Barry Karas

Guest Barry Karas Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Re: Minimizing Web Pages I use Mozilla Firefox 3 as my browser, not Internet Explorer. I do have Internet Explorer -- I used it in the "old" days when Firefox 1 and 2 did not work on some web pages.
