Force open new browser window

Hi, How do I get additional 'Favourites' to open in a new window, rather than

opening over an existing one, that I may view both at the same time. I've

unchecked 'Reuse Window' under Advanced/IO, and I've set Folder options to

open in new window. Holding down 'Shift' doesn't work either ? Any advice

much appreciated.

Ron, thank you for your reply. However, again that just opens over the

existing window ?

No, it opens a new instance of IE--your existing IE window will remain.

In IE7 I just Control Left click on the Favorites list.

Thank you to all for your input. OK at present, but may have a glitch

somewhere as

wasn't working correctly previously.
